About Us
About Us
We are a family that hungers for the presence of God and does life together. We have a heart to love and help those who have been hurt by church or have walked away from the Lord. Love is our highest value!
Our mission comes down to this: Being love as God is love.
This is Oasis. It's a divine flow that begins in heaven, continues through us, and out to our world. We are committed to have God's presence encounter us and let Him love us. And as we do, we're changed. We're healed. We're set free.
Then we give that love away. It can look like a hug for a struggling friend, providing shelter for the homeless, unconditional acceptance of everyone with no stones to throw, calling upon someone in love and patience, praying for a miracle to take place (and watching it happen)... love can take on so many forms! You will find no condemnation, shame, guilt, or rejection here--only people calling you higher into the identity and purpose that God has for you. You will also find a group of people who believe God is good and expect Him to be the supernatural God He is.
Part of loving one another is knowing that conflict and disagreement is going to happen in any relationship; it’s how we handle conflict and disagreement that matters. Living from the foundation of God’s love enables us to grow and see health in our marriages, families, friendships and even toward strangers. To that end, we have put together our church family commitment to one another:
• Openness and honesty
• Teachable and not defensive
• Love is non-negotiable in disagreement and adversity
• Believe the best of one another
• Trust one another's hearts above words and actions
• Negative fellowship and criticism is an offense against the house
• Look out for one another
• Consider others more important
we see God’s church as family and not a business. The goal in business is to move up the corporate ladder, sometimes at the expense of others. The goal of family, however, is maturity, and as a result we want to partner with people to step into the fullness of their God-given identity! We trust God’s blueprint for our lives is better than our own. You have a destiny and purpose from Him that is brilliant!
The universe, this world and the human race was created by God. But humanity rejected God and chose their own way. However, God remained committed to us and sent His Son Jesus Christ to show us who He is. Jesus died on the cross in our place, and rose from the dead three days later. He has conquered death, sin, the devil, and hell. And now every person has the opportunity to believe in Jesus and follow His plan for their lives. He gives the Holy Spirit to everyone who chooses to follow Him. And now we look forward to Jesus returning and making all things new.
As a Foursquare church, we focus on four main aspects of Jesus: He is the Savior, the Baptizer in the Holy Spirit, the Healer, and the soon and coming King! For more information on Foursquare and what we believe click here.
• God is the answer to every single need in life and in our world.
• God is more good than we think He is.
• Jesus is extremely committed to us.
• Both the Bible (the word of God) and the Holy Spirit are needed.
• Prayer changes history.
• Our kids are our greatest legacy.
Oasis started in 1994 in Post Falls, ID. Back then, we were called Solid Rock. In 2008, Dan and Shannon became the pastors. In 2015, the Lord led us to change our name to Oasis. This is a name that lines up with the calling on our church family: to see people hurt by church and religion--or wounded by life and those they trusted--healed, restored to relationship with the Lord and His family, aligned with the call of God on their life, and sent out whole and empowered! These are the ones who were stuck in the desert, found an oasis, were healed and strengthened, and go out to accomplish the good works God has prepared for them! In 2022, our church family moved to our larger location where we are at currently. In 2024, we added another space (The Hub) to accomodate our growing family and to bless the community around us. We're moving into the future with focus and resolve to be a 100-fold church full of manifest sons and daughters of God!
