What do you do in Oasis?

Oasis has a rotating schedule where we switch between bringing in a guest speaker (normally a pastor from a local church), having worship and/or prayer, Bible study, and fellowship. Each meeting in rotation is closely related and focused on the theme of the quarter. During sermons, a guest speaker comes in and shares insight on a passage in the Bible that has real life application. During worship and prayer, members are led into a few songs and then given topics to pray for. During Bible study, the club analyzes a passage in the Bible and discusses its significance and relevance. For fellowship, members play a game or complete an activity related to the quarterly theme, followed by a brief discussion of application.

​

Do you have to be Christian to be in Oasis?

Nope! It is Oasis' goal to create a community where believers and non-believers alike can come together and have fellowship and feel comfortable. Oasis looks to create a family atmosphere because everybody belongs! Whether you believe in Jesus or don't believe in Jesus, whether you have bad grades or good grades, or whether you do drugs or don't do drugs, we are a loving and accepting club that welcomes anybody and everybody! We do, however, hold heavy Christian values and a majority of our club meetings are focused on spiritual growth.

We look to build people up in character an dhope to provide comfort to those looking for it. We encourage you to join Oasis because it is also a place for you to grow in your relationship with God.

Why is the club called Oasis?

In the past, Oxford's Jesus Club was known as B.O.B. (Bunch of Believers), and then Ignite. In 2015, the name was changed to Oasis because the club was entering a new season of growth. It was also appropriate to name it Oasis, as one of the goals was to be a place where people would feel comfortable going to when they were stressed or struggling.
