Who we are
We are:
◦ Eclectic in spiritual practices ◦ Egalitarian in leadership ◦ Diverse in faith backgrounds ◦ Casual in dress and conversation ◦ Consensual in decision making
Mission:
The purpose of The Oasis is to empower persons in their spiritual journeys. Our primary influence is the path of Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ, though we remain open to other insights and understandings of the Living One as expressed by other faith journeys.
Principles
1. Honor the person.
All are welcome regardless of race, culture, or ethnicity; gender, orientation, or sexual identity; physical, mental, & emotional abilities; age, socio-economic status, marital status, personal theologies, etc. We respect the worth, gifts, call and abilities of everyone. We address issues of justice, peace, and mercy as they affect the lives of others. We support and encourage one another towards spiritual maturity.
2. Respect the Journey
The Christian scriptures are our primary guide; however, we respect other spiritual writings. We are ecumenical in regards to differing theologies. We are open to inter-faith dialogue. We are eclectic in worship styles and spiritual disciplines. We honor and encourage responsible freedom of conscience.
3. Trust the Spirit
We are called to continually discern the leading of the Spirit. We understand tradition, history, doctrines, reason, etc. to be mile markers, not destinations. We believe God brings Light to the darkest of situations. We affirm that God is still speaking; therefore we must be open to new insights and understandings.

The Oasis UCC History
Learn to know Christ
Learn to know Christ and him crucified. Learn to sing to him, and say, Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You have taken upon yourself what is mine and given me what is yours. You have become what you were not so that I might become what I was not.
