Summit NJ Church-Summit Area Churches

August 26, 2011 by  

Are you looking for a contemporary Summit NJ Church, or at least a decent church worship service near Summit? Well, I have some good news: Oasis-Church-NJ.com is a mere 5 minutes drive from Summit, NJ.:)

Summit Church Search

However, if Oasis is not to your liking (hey not all folks like casual, contemporary church worship experience with relevant Bible teaching), we recommend doing a google search for non-denominational, evangelical Summit NJ Churches, church services near Summit or 07902 churches, and see what pops up. Looking for other close by Central NJ churches like Madison churches, Springfield churches, Chatham churches, Berkeley Heights churches, Union churches, etc? Simply use the same search methods that you employed when looking for Summit area churches.

Oasis Celebrated its First Christmas Eve

December 27, 2010 by  

If you’ve been following our blog from the beginning of this God amazing adventure we call Oasis-Church-NJ.com, you are probably rejoicing with us about what He has done over the last year and a half.  One friend who recently visited Oasis for the first time  had this to say: “You spoke about starting a church for years, but I never thought it would ever happen. Boy was I wrong!”  Over and over again, the Lord keeps reminding me of this:  Never ever (put another ever in there!) underestimate the power of vision and the fact that our God is in the business of using ordinary people (translation: flawed, weak misfits by the world’s standards)  to do extraordinary crazy things for Him.

As I stood up in front of all the folks who showed up for our first Christmas Eve as a new and growing church family, I was so overwhelmed with joy thinking about how God honors faith-filled risking taking for the Kingdom. Looking out at them with my IPhone, I asked them if I could take a picture! They said yes, but I mean, what were they gonna say on Christmas Eve? LOL.  BTW, I’ll be putting up pictures soon, but in between that time I have video of the service for those who were not able to be there, or are curious about how we do a message at OC:

Over all, I guess the purpose of this blog entry is to remind myself and others that God honors vision and faith, and to let newcomers on this site know that Oasis-Church-NJ.com is a new casual, contemporary Christian church that meets Sundays at 11am at 1180 Spruce Dr in Mountainside, and during the the week in Connect Groups in various locations around NJ. So if any of you out there are yearning for more of God, meaning and purpose in life, come check us out. At Oasis you will enjoy a fun  laid back setting, great music  and relevant messages you can use in real life and meeting and connecting with new friends.

Oasis Kids Clubs

November 26, 2010 by  

At Oasis Kids Clubs parents will be delighted to find a safe, fun and spiritually rewarding environment for nursery and school age children up to grade 5. Our supervising staff at Oasis Kids Clubs is certified to teach Early Childhood and Elementary Education through the state of NJ.

Not only will we provide your kids  Bible group lessons in an exciting and easy to learn multi-media format, but also cool games, crafts and music that are age appropriate. Much, but not all of our resource material is drawn from KidMo, which we have tailored and made our own for Oasis Kids.

After all, church kids clubs should be refreshing and fun, right? Of course they should! But the fun and learning doesn’t have to end there. Wouldn’t it be great if kids had a way to remember and apply what they learned at Kids Clubs on Sunday? All from their own homes?

Check it out. In line with the fact that Oasis Church NJ began as an online outreach, we’re going to be rolling out the 21st century version of the mailbox Bible kids club-an interactive and free virtual Oasis Kids Club Blog concocted specially for kids 4 thru 5th grade. It’s gonna be packed with neat stuff and links for the kids, and will also have online learning tools that will make it fun for you as parents to go over the week’s kids club lesson they got at the OC in NJ.

The bottom line here is we want your kids and entire family to grow together in the knowledge and love of Jesus so that you can thrive and make an impact on others in your everyday living. That’s as real and relevant as it gets.

Oh yeah, one more thing. Rest assured your precious kids will be safe in our care. Why? All of our Oasis Kids Clubs volunteers will be thoroughly trained and screened.

Oasis Church Launch Team at Liberty

November 14, 2008 by  

roadtrip_v2 Wow! This past weekend our Oasis Church Launch Team had an amazing time on our road trip to the NEXT Conference located at Liberty Seminary in Lynchburg, VA.  Not only was it wonderful to meet and network with hundreds of church planters from all over the USA, we also received some great training from Hal Mayer and Randy Smith on how to start a healthy and growing church from scratch.

Oasis Church Meets Jehovah Jireh

Our God continues to provide for Oasis Church in miraculous ways.  For example, heading to our second church planting session at Liberty Seminary on Saturday, I took off down a one way street, and got pulled over by the campus police. As the officer rolled his window down, thoughts of Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny came roaring through my mind. A woman passed our vehicle as I was jokingly telling the officer that he should have expected this kind of behavior from a Jersey guy.  When Leni Dittman heard I was a wiseguy from Jersey,  she excitedly ran to our car to let me know that she and her husband, Dr. Leland (Lee) Dittman, director of Liberty Baptist Fellowship, were also from NJ. Coincidence? Yeah, ok.

The end result of the above “by chance” meeting in an empty parking lot was that the LBF is now intending to support our NJ church plant with $1000 in monthly support. God truly confirms and provides in miraculous ways! As Lydia and I brushed back tears from our eyes, we thanked the Lord that I was stupid enough to make a wrong turn. Oh yeah, and I got off without a ticket, too!

Sunday-How to Manage Your Money and Stuff

November 12, 2008 by  

Since God has already given us everything, how can we give back to God in appreciation? As we learned last week how we handle finances (our money and stuff) is an indication of how strong our faith in God actually is. Join us this Sunday at our Oasis Church Plant Gathering as we continue our “Money, Debt and Your Stuff” teaching/discussion series by looking at “How to Honor God With Your Stuff” and learn what it means to put the Lord before your stuff. Need directions?
