Our Story

Oasis Church Aberdeen was founded in 2005 with a simple vision: to create a welcoming community where people from all walks of life could encounter God's love and grow in their faith.

What started as a small gathering of 20 people in a community hall has grown into a vibrant church family of hundreds. Through the years, we've remained committed to our founding principles: authentic worship, biblical teaching, and genuine community.

Today, Oasis Church continues to be a place where lives are transformed, families are strengthened, and hope is found. We believe the best is yet to come as we continue to serve Aberdeen and beyond.
