We hope that here you will experience a true oasis--a pleasant surprise in our city of Rochester, Minnesota. Our desire is to be a family that offers joy and restoration as we journey together to know and follow Jesus Christ.
WHO WE ARE
Oasis Church in Rochester Minnesota was founded in 1961 as Elim Baptist Church. In 2004, using the root meaning of “Elim”, we changed our name to Oasis Church. Today, we continue our mission to be an “Oasis” for those who are on a “Journey to Know and Follow Jesus Christ”. Our current desire is to remain faithful to our roots established 60 years ago and to continue on our journey under the leadership of our new senior pastor Peter Shea.
Today, Oasis is a welcoming family of worshipers of Jesus Christ. Our members include long time Mayo Clinic employees, self-employed individuals, students and wise retired seniors. At Oasis we excel at caring for people in need through fostering, adopting and embracing the physically challenged. It is a place where you can feel a true sense of family. The hallmark of our ministry is Bible centered teaching, mission minded activities and authentic fellowship. It is our joy to represent Jesus in the Rochester Minnesota Community, providing a refreshing oasis for all to come.
