Core Values

Last week, after having announced our name change, our church started a new message series about it's core values.

These values are: Worship, Community, and Missions.

What excites me about this is that these values were taught and demonstrated to us by our savior, Jesus, and are the same values we have as a ministry of Oasis Church.

Think about it, when ever we gather there is prayer and bible study (through devotionals), there is definitely a strong sense of community (all the hugs, smiles, conversation and regular contact and help we give one another prove that), and there is missions through our involvement with Angel Tree, Wheels of Grace Unity Ride and Rally, and future plans currently being worked to participate in the annual toy run and other charitable bike events.

Soon, you will start seeing and hearing more about our ministry as we reach out to every motorcycle rider who walks through the front doors of Oasis Church. I have been working with Jenn Collins and Pastor Guy to have flyer's and posters approved, bulletin announcements prepared, and events calendared to get the word out and show everyone that you can have a good time while demonstrating our core values to everyone around us.

Next week we will kick-off our Angel Tree pre-Christmas campaign. We will start collecting toys to take to the Wheels of Grace Unity Ride in Lakeland on September 15th. We will continue with this initiative once the Christmas season starts and then deliver these gifts directly to the kids as a ministry activity (of course on our bikes!).

Demonstrating our core values has one major requirement from all of us - INVOLVEMENT! We must be willing to get actively involved if we are to live out our values. Great and fantastic things can be accomplished in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, if we all get involved and live out our core values together every day!

This is exciting (and refreshing) stuff! God's blessings to you all!
