Springfield Community Oasis is - a faith community engaging our emerging culture, reaching out in love together as mission-minded Disciples of Christ. As we have shared our Mission, Purpose and our Core Cultural Values hopefully God has begun to open your mind to a new way of thinking, a better place for the church to be and a future that will look very different to the past or even the present. Our vision is encapsulated by all of these statements and their explanations. It is ambitious and will take us into uncharted waters. For many of us it will challenge our traditional understanding of the role of the church in culture, the separation of the church from the world and perhaps how the gospel interacts with humankind. It is our dream that this vision will enable us to better connect with the 94% of Australians who see no need for personal involvement in a faith community (church). It is our dream that we can provide a meaningful and challenging place to which people can retreat from the busyness of life and reflect upon some of life’s more perplexing questions: Identity & origin It is our dream that many will join with us on this journey. Hopefully you will be one of those who enter into this partnership with us! |
