Did you see the viral Facebook post about the Dad + Bonus Dad who took photos with their little girl before the daddy daughter dance?…so adorable! What about the viral video of Dad + Stepdad with their daughter on her wedding day? They are getting along, smiling, working together, co-parenting. This is all GREAT! But it’s not typical. And if you are a blended family, you know that even these news-worthy stories probably have their own
#1 - AWE. If you would have told me 5 years ago all that God was going to do through Oasis, I’m not sure I would have believed you! I’m in awe. #2 - PLANS. God’s plans are so much bigger than our dreams and He is able to do so much more than we could ever ask! (Isaiah 55:8) #3 - COURAGE - I’m asking God to give me the courage to dream bigger…I was
Sitting here trying to wrap my mind around the past five years…it’s been an incredible journey. I’m blown away at God’s faithfulness to us. I am overwhelmed with both thankfulness AND excitement…I’m THANKFUL because God is allowing me to be a part of this…and I’m EXCITED because Philippians 1:6 reminds me, “God is NOT finished” and “OUR BEST DAYS are in front of us!” Reflecting back, I can distinctly remember… -Our very first worship service on

God is moving at Oasis. There is no other explanation for the things we are seeing happen. Every Sunday we are seeing new faces, families are returning, and people are deciding to make Oasis their “home”. It is an amazing feeling to be a part of a growing church.

#1 – 20/20 - I'm starting a new series this Sunday. It's a vision series. I know there are a lot of people who are just “kicking tires” at Oasis.
