Oasis Church - Bradenton (FL)

5 /5 Kristal Murphy: This church started in the cafeteria of my girls elementary school about ten years ago. It has truly grown into an outstanding church, welcoming all of the community. Since the very first day that Ive attended, they make you feel welcomed like family and you feel at home. I love the atmosphere - all are welcomed as you are. I appreciate the honesty of Pastor Steve as he is very open about his own personal issues and his character; his honesty has helped me strive to be a better person each and every day with the love of Jesus Christ. You wont be disappointed at this place of love and worship, thats for sure! Ive never felt a sense of peace in my life as I do now.

4 /5 Kristie Kennedy: Today I visited for the second time while visiting my mom. What I enjoy most is that the tangible presence of God ministers to my spirit. They only spend about ten to fifteen minutes on the word for the one hour service and it was more milk than meat. The dress code is extremely casual, jeans and sneakers are acceptable. I was dressed down and was still overdressed in this environment. Its a great place for babes in Christ. I would probably starve with my voracious appetite for the word. I took half a page of notes when I typically average about 6-7 and I talked to Jesus about this because Im curious which is more impactful out of what Im used to experiencing. They give you options at the end of service to leave or stay for prayer. As a black woman there were a total of three blacks that I saw but I try to focus on at least one person who demonstrates the kindness of Christ and today it was my neighbor. I will definitely visit again when I return as the pastor reminded us today we are all a mess and God still loves us.

5 /5 Tristan Adkins: My wife and I have been attending Oasis church for almost 10 years. This healthy, family friendly church has been a blessing to our family. We have two young children, and I can’t tell you how much we are impressed with their children’s ministry. Vacation bible school is a great summer activity here. Safety is a priority at Oasis. Everyone is welcome here and unlike allot of churches there’s no judgmental attitudes. Pastor Steve and associate pastor John deliver practical, authentic, biblical based sermons week after week and their service is only an hour long and there’s 3 to choose from on Sunday mornings. Oasis has a good app so if you miss a message or just need more info check that out. Jesus loves you and he has a plan and a purpose for your life, God bless. Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

5 /5 James Keeling: Oasis Church is a large church with 2 Sunday services. I went to the 11:00 am service on February 23, 2025. The place was abuzz with happy people. The sanctuary was large and welcoming. When worship music started, lights were flashing, spotlights were shining, and neon lights were lit. To me, this was quite distracting. I found it difficult to worship, as I felt like I was at a stage production rather than at a church service. This was not really for me. Then, Pastor Steve Coad came on stage for teaching/preaching. Today, he continued a series on 4 flags in every relationship. This morning was on the yellow flag of envy and pride. I found Pastor Coads teaching to be excellent. It was very well presented and easy to follow. I feel that the message was also relevant and helpful. I enjoyed the teaching very much, and it has prompted me to self reflect in my own life. Overall, while I wasnt drawn by the worship, the message more than made up for it. UPDATE I followed up on my first visit with a second visit today (March 2, 2025). I again went to the 11 am service. This time, during worship, I closed my eyes so I wouldnt be so easily distracted. I was familiar with the worship songs played, and I found myself singing and worshipping freely. The music was very good, and I was able to focus on the Lord. It was much better for me than last week. Pastor Coad continued his series on 4 flags in relationships. Today, he covered the red flags of selfishness and anger. Once again, Pastor did a phenomenal job! He once again prompted me to self evaluate myself. His teachings are very practical and biblical, and I am feeling like I have much to benefit from and the opportunity to grow by sitting under his leadership. I would encourage anyone to check this church out to see for themselves!
