Non-Denominational NJ Churches Are Cool!
September 17, 2008
On our site we bill ourselves as a non-denominational NJ church in central New Jersey. Yet, there are apparently many folks out there that are a “little” confused as to what makes up non-denominational church beliefs. Today I spoke with a nice Roman Catholic woman who thought a non-denominational church taught something a akin to agnosticism! A day before that I had a delightful conversation with an Orthodox Jew who was sure that non-denominational churches espouse universalism and anti-semitism. Man! I think a little clarification is in order, don’t you?
Non-Denominational Church Definition
Basically a non-denominational church is an autonomous congregation that does not officially align itself with any denomination like Methodists, Baptists or Lutherans, for example, but may in fact have similar beliefs to those sects. Conversely, there are also many non-denominational churches which hold completely independent and unique beliefs from any other sect.
As far as Oasis Church is concerned, we are an evangelical NJ church that boldly confesses our belief in the Nicene Creed, which is the most widely accepted and used statement of the Christian Faith. By the way, this happens to be the same document I had to memorize in Sister Margarita’s class when I attended attended Catholic School back in the day of pull off ties.
Therefore, Oasis Church is a NJ nondenominational church that holds onto to traditional Christian beliefs, but chooses to express them in a contemporary, culturally relevant way.
So if you are seeking for a newly forming church of imperfect but real people where the music rocks, casual rules and the message hits you right where you’re “at”, well I suppose we’re the non-denominational church in NJ you’ve been lookin’ for. Click here for our times and services.

Oasis Church Update on Oasis-Church-NJ.com
September 3, 2008
Some people new to our Oasis Church plant wondered about the name. Oasis Church? Why Oasis Church? Quite simply, we chose “Oasis Church” because our vision is to compassionately introduce Jesus and His love to tens of thousands of hungry and hurting singles and young families all around the world.
Over the past few weeks, folks have mistaken Oasis Church for a nightclub, water softener company and restaurant. That’s all cool I guess, but in order to clear up any misconceptions about what Oasis-Church-NJ.com is and isn’t, we offer the following:
Oasis Church Meaning
According to the dictionary, an Oasis is a refuge or fertile, green spot in a desert wasteland. Hurting and hungry people who feel burned by the world and past church experiences need a spiritual Oasis, and we at Oasis Church intend to provide it for them.
Although Oasis Church is not rich by worldly standards, and we are not many (yet!), our goals are lofty because we serve a lofty God. Do I need to remind you what Jesus did with a mere five barley loaves and two fish? Case closed.
By the way, how to you like our new logo for Oasis Church T-shirts, Oasis Church letterhead and any other kind of Oasis Church paraphernalia we can put it on?
