To take the divine presence of God to the nations and peoples of the world, and to demonstrate the character of the Spirit.
To raise generations of men and women who will come into their inheritance and fulfill their God-given dream.
Oasis Midwest is a zone of Oasis USA, the campus ministry of Believers’ LoveWorld, part of LoveWorld Inc., founded by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome.
A zone is a territory, not a single group. Oasis Midwest carries responsibility for the work of Oasis across the Midwestern United States: on college and university campuses, among high school students, and among young people in the communities around them. Twelve states sit within our zone.
Oasis Midwest is one of those zones, serving the Midwestern United States. Through intentional evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship, students across our zone are equipped to grow spiritually, build meaningful community, and take the message of Jesus Christ to their world.
If you are in the Midwest and searching for a place to grow spiritually, build community, and live out your faith boldly, we look forward to being part of your journey.
Oasis is built on the global vision of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, whose ministry, LoveWorld Inc., has impacted millions around the world with the message of faith, hope, and salvation through Jesus Christ.
With a strong emphasis on evangelism, discipleship, and spiritual growth, this vision extends to college campuses; raising students who are bold in their faith and committed to transforming their world.
Oasis Midwest represents this vision in action across universities in the Midwestern United States, building student-led communities where the Word of God is taught, lived, and shared consistently.
We serve others with humility and compassion, putting their needs before our own, following the example of Christ.
We love people unconditionally, just as Christ loved us first, creating safe and welcoming communities.
We honor God with our lives, words, and actions, worshiping Him in spirit and in truth.
We remain rooted in constant communication with God, relying on prayer as the foundation of our faith and direction.
We give generously of our time, resources, and talents to bless others and advance God’s work.
We do all things with integrity and diligence, reflecting the greatness of God in every detail.
Our beliefs are founded on the Bible, the inspired and infallible Word of God, and are in full alignment with the doctrines of Christ.
