How it all started...
Oasis Community Church was founded in 2013 by Pastor Rodney Mattox along with his wife, Lisa, and his family with a vision of offering life in the midst of a dry, barren world through the love of Christ. Pastor Rodney tells the story of being shown a picture of a partially dead tree with a sprig of life coming from the dead part growing in the middle of a desert. At the base of a tree, a small puddle bubbled.
God spoke to him saying that where there's bubbles, there is water if only we will dig it out. Once released, this water provides life to the surrounding desert. Just as the tree has life restored in its dead parts and as the water gives life, OCCM has made it our purpose to be a place where lives can be restored through the life giving power of Christ.

Expanding the vision...
The second T in THAT Church is that we Touch our community. We love to show the love of God outside of the church building! For several years, we have been providing coats or hats, and gloves to children who may not have any other way to stay warm during the winter months.
Bike Night
In 2023, we started monthly Bike Nights throughout the summer reaching out to motorcycle enthusiasts who may not feel comfortable in a traditional worship experience. It has been a power time with God!
Where we are headed...
We have great plans in the works! Our favorite phrase lately is "Put down the paintbrush and let God paint the picture." We are witnessing our dreams come true and God is exceeding our expectations. As we continue to "put down the paintbrush," we're excited to see where God is going to take us next!
