Oasis is a place for our older adults to grow together spiritually and relationally. It’s a place in which we want you to feel known and valued.
From monthly lunch-and-learn events to day trips and group travel, Oasis is for you to connect, grow, and develop friendships.
Oasis also serves with other ministries of our church in a special way. You matter and the church needs you!
