We are an “open and affirming congregation,” and have made a public covenant of welcome to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions.
Based in Penticton, Oasis is a member congregation of the United Church of Canada. We offer both in person and online participation in our services.
Oasis United Church was formed in 2008 as a response to a community’s vision. This is our mission:
- Rooted in Christian hospitality, we are an oasis for all who seek a safe place for spiritual deepening.
- We welcome all to this community of inclusion, learning and compassion.
- People matter.
- We commit to the wellness of our world, and work for reconciliation with all of creation.
Our Leadership Team holds decision making responsibility and is committed to ensuring that the mission and values of the congregation are supported.
