Space
Gathering spaces don't need to eat up the church budget. Businesses can provide meeting space for believers to gather and worship.
Funding
When we find strong leaders with sustainable mission projects, we invest into those leaders and those ventures.
Opportunity
Tent-making, disciple-makers often times are looking for opportunity to get better jobs or business opportunities to help fund their life and ministry.
Mentorship
From life skills to business and mission development, business owners provide counsel for missional leaders who need it.
Our Process
Leading well is key in impacting culture for Jesus.
Practical teaching from practitioners in all different walks of life specifically for the missional church movement.

Jesus & The Word
All are welcome to come and find living water in the life that Jesus provides and the living Word of God that transforms lives. This is oxygen to the lungs of the church.
Gathering
Believers regularly meet together wherever they can to pray, learn, strengthen and encourage one another. Many times, this doesn't happen in a church building.
Mission
The church seeks out and goes to the people in need in their communities to solve problems. Non-action towards that which breaks a believers heart is abuse of the design they were given.
Food & Generosity
Relationships are built around the table and as we give thanks and remember what he's done, we ask God for how to give toward others in need. Food is important and fun, so we celebrate it.

FAQs
Find answers to frequently asked questions about The Oasis Project and our mission to integrate church and business.
For us, sustainable means there is:
- A trusted leader and a church gathering attached to the project.
- A clear plan around the longevity of the project that helps a community move forward.
Projects that we invest in have a lot to do with the relationship that we have to the leader and the project with the greatest potential impact to transform a community. We have our board, our team and a group of business advisors that help us choose.
Business owners have gifting that have always played a pivotal role in church expansion. As a team, we look for the gaps and find solutions, and from our vantage point, the gifting of entrepreneurs are not being mobilized well inside of the prevailing church structure.
The current prevailing church model focuses on growth and invitation. As church attendance continues to shrink each generation, we see the ability to reach people that may never walk into a church building through simple relationship and common mission.
