Core Beliefs
We believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, as Lord and as Savior. Our book of doctrine, or list of beliefs, is simply the Word of God. Thus as one man has expressed it, “We have no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no name but the name Christian.”
God is...
the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He exists eternally in three personalities: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—one God in three persons. (Genesis 1:1 & 26 -27, 1 Peter 1:2, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
Jesus Christ is...
the Son of God who lived a sinless life and offered himself as the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead demonstrating power over death. He now rules and reigns as King of Kings in the lives of believers and is head of the church. (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-5, Acts 1:9-11, Hebrews 4:14-15)
The Holy Spirit is...
part of the triune nature of God. He is present in the world to turn us toward Jesus Christ and resides in the life of the Christian, providing supernatural guidance. (2 Corinthians 3:17, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:38-40, Ephesians 1:13-14)
The Bible is...
the divinely preserved and inspired Word of God, and the source of truth, faith, and practice for believers.
(2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
(2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21)
Mankind is...
made in the spiritual image of God and the object of God’s creation and divine love. Sin causes separation between mankind and God, but God has provided a way of restoration through his Son, Jesus Christ.
(Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 59:1-2, Romans 3:23)
(Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 59:1-2, Romans 3:23)
Salvation is...
by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ. By trusting in the gospel of Christ, repenting of sins, and being baptized into the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, believers are promised eternity with the Father.
(Acts 2:38-40, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9)
(Acts 2:38-40, Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:8-9)
Eternity is...
how long we were designed to exist with God. One will either exist eternally separated from God by sin or in union with God because of Christ has accomplished. Eternal separation is identified as hell. Heaven is an eternal place for those who accept the gospel.
(John 3:16, 1 John 2:25, 5:11-13, Revelation 20:15)
(John 3:16, 1 John 2:25, 5:11-13, Revelation 20:15)
The Church is...
described as the body of Christ. It is a community of believers that exists to reach those that do not know Christ and to disciple believers. Jesus Christ will one day return for the church, which will begin eternity. (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 12:27, Ephesians 4:11-14)
WE ARE A CHRISTIAN CHURCH
Get to know more about what makes us different.
The Christian Churches.
Oasis Church is a Christian church. We are part of the “Restoration Movement”. This movement is not “just another denomination,” since we have not chosen a denominational or “man-made” name, creed, or book of doctrine. Our name, as individual members, is Christian and as congregations, Churches of Christ or Christian Churches. As these terms are scriptural and based upon the Word of God, we can honestly claim to be “Christians only.” We are not the only Christians; we are Christians only! As to our creed (from the Latin “credo,” meaning “I believe”) we believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God, as Lord and as Savior. Our book of doctrine, or list of beliefs, is simply the Word of God. Thus as one man has expressed it, “We have no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, no name but the name Christian.”

Our History.
Oasis Church began in 2005 with the founding Pastor, Michael Gray. With no official building we were holding services at Cedar Ridge elementary School every Sunday. In 2010 Greg Smith became the senior Pastor, after Michael Gray was called to a different ministry. Greg Smith is originally from Kentucky and has over 25 years of Pastoral Experience.
In 2013 we remodeled an old gym to make way for the new home of Oasis Church. We currently average around 450 people every Sunday morning. Monday thru Friday Pueblo Christian Academy meets and holds classes in our Facility, housing about 40 students from kindergarten thru High School. Learn more about PCA below.
