Oasis Church

A Word from Pastor Jack Hakimian

2009-07-05T14:21:57Z

Dear Oasis Family & Friends,

It is such a blessing for my family and I to be part of Oasis Church and to serve as the new Campus Pastor at our North Miami campus. I am looking forward to the relationship we will form, the lives that will be changed by Jesus Christ and the fun times at North Miami (i.e. Karaoke Night, LOL!).

Kevin and Suzie McCord have done and are still doing such an awesome job in pastoring that congregation. I thank God for their spirit and work, they have been so helpful in this time of transition.

Pastor Guy and Tonia Melton have been so encouraging as well and we are looking forward to years of partnership with them and the entire Oasis Church Family. As I said in my first sermon, “He Continues To Compel Me“ our goal is threefold:

1. Help meet the spiritual and practical needs of Christ’s sheep at Oasis Church North Miami campus (John 21:14-19).
2. Help Oasis Church members discover, strengthen and use their unique talents & gifts within the context of the church or outside community (Ephesians 4:11-13).
3. Plant culturally relevant, Christ-centered churches in the Miami-Dade area with teams of 30-50 people (1 Cor 9:19-23).

If you feel compelled to join us in this mission spiritually or practically please pray with and for us and contact us as the Lord leads you. We would love to pray with you.

Sincerely In Christ,
Pastor Jack Hakimian
