Our OASIS Worship Team provides a refreshing, contemporary musical experience for the 8:45 am Sunday Celebration Worship Service from September through May. During the summer, OASIS leads the worship music for both services one Sunday per month.
Combining vocalists, keyboards, guitar, percussion, and other guest instrumentalists, the group enjoys providing a contemporary flavor in many different musical styles. Songs are woven throughout the service around a themed message, with the OASIS team delivering passion and energy in diverse styles including jazz, gospel, folk-rock and Christian contemporary rock. Directed by John Petrusa, the OASIS team leads the congregation in singing praises and strives to engage the congregation in worshiping Christ through song.
