Our History

In 1977, a group of Spirit-filled believers who desired to know more of God, banded together in home Bible studies to pray and worship. Out of that, God birthed a desire to establish a New Testament Church in Middletown, Ohio.

That desire has now come to pass. In 1979, Tim Sheets came to pastor the newly formed Oasis, then known as The Living Word. Through his leadership, a strong foundation of practical principles for Christian living is being instilled in the hearts of the congregation. The aim of the congregation was, and still is, to minister to the whole man - spirit, soul, and body. God has set about the process of equipping Oasis and its members for the work of the ministry.
