Life group ministry is an important part of Christian Life at Oasis. The purpose of these groups is to build relationships, to provide a time of fellowship, to provide a time to share specific needs and concerns with one another, and to provide a time for prayer within a small group setting. A life group at Oasis is a gathering of believers meeting the following criteria:

  • Learning to live for Christ
  • Investing in relationships
  • Finding God’s purpose for life
  • Encouraging others

  • Guided by an approved leader.
  • Regularly meeting.
  • On-campus or off-campus.
  • Using approved curriculum.
  • Pursuing spiritual growth.
So, you can be in a life group by being a part of ongoing on-campus or off-campus life group, or semester-based groups such as women's Bible studies, Reach for Recovery step studies, Health or Exercise, Sports, Quilting/Sewing, Marriage & Family, Outreach, etc.

The important thing is that you start doing life with other believers. At Oasis, you do that through groups.
How do I choose a group?

You can choose your group based on your most pressing need. Some people are looking for fellowship and need an ongoing group that meets every week with no scheduled end date. Others are looking for biblical answers to specific questions or issues. They want a group that meets for a specific number of weeks about a singular subject or topic. You decide the kind of group that suits you best right now. You are under no obligation to stay in a group. So, give one a try. If it doesn't work for you, try something else.
