Oasis Community, Littleton, Colorado. Rest for your soul. Released to serve.

Come to Oasis where you will find living water in a dry and thirsty land.

The Oasis Community ethos is hard to define unless you've experienced it for yourself. From the beginning of Oasis, we have focused on the relationships we share, the living water that flows from Jesus and refreshes the individual soul, which in turn streams into the relationships around us. Many weary, hurt, lonely and searching travelers have found peace and refuge in the home of Oasis. We provide the space,_noemailmunity and support that families and individuals need to rest and heal while being released into the world to serve.

We are currently a small body of believers, who are deeply known by each other in the midst of this world of pain and distress. Oasis provides a safe space for members to bring their diverse backgrounds and perspectives to share. How different are we? We have people on both sides of the political aisle, ranging in length and breadth of faith and economic status; we find our_noemailmon ground in Christ. Throughout our 20 years of existence, we have had 3 pastors, each who served faithfully, 2 of whom have passed the torch and still attend.

At Oasis Community, we are inviting our next pastor to pick up the torch. We pray for someone who passionately pursues the Lord, who will join our_noemailmunity of fellow travelers as we all seek to b_noemaile increasingly devoted to God. We are looking for a shepherding pastor driven by deep relationships.
