Charity name: Oasis Central Church

Charity registration number: 1180714

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The objectives of the CIO are:
a) To advance the Christian
faith for the public benefit in the UK and
worldwide in accordance with the Statement
of Faith.
b) The relief of poverty, sickness and
financial hardship.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 Oasis Central Church is committed to
enabling as many people as possible to
worship at our church and form a close-knit
community. Our services put faith and
worship into practice through prayer,
scripture and music.
We enable people to live out their faith with
like-minded yet a diverse group of people
through prayer, the Word and worship;
through providing pastoral care for people in
the community and through outreach work.
The main activities undertaken for public
benefit this year in relation to advancing the
Christian faith include holding regular
services on Sunday afternoons which
consist of praise & worship, sermons,
prayer; a Sunday School for children under
the age of 10; and a Teens Church for young
people between the ages of 11&18.
On Tuesday evenings the church holds a
Bible Study class for those who wish to learn
more about the Bible. We also hold regular
prayer meetings throughout the week.
The church has provided welfare to needy
church members by providing food,
financial support and advice regarding
money management, mentoring and
academic support.
The Church currently holds both in-person
and online activities.
In August 2022, the Church organised an
outreach program both in London and
Birmingham to reach out to the needy and
offered personal development sessions.
Throughout the year, the Church held
several camp meetings for Youth and Young
adults to provide a learning and educative
platform for them.
In June 2022, the Church held BBQ party.
The less privilege in the community were
invited to be fed and be given clothes, food
and drinks
During the summer holidays when the
children were returning to their various
schools, the church gave vouchers from
selected supermarket to the single parent
homes.
