True strength comes from within, and from community
The Oasis at Grace
Our building has extensive and versatile space, which we use in numerous ways to participate in the daily, weekly, and on-going lives of people in our community. WE are a welcoming place, a place to find rest and renewal. We regard ourselves as partners with the many communities that we serve (both inside and outside of the church) and with those who use the nave (sanctuary), choir room, Great Hall, small assembly room, and other spaces in the church. Together we take responsibility for caring for the building and grounds and support one another's events and ministries. We work with community members to bring ideas to fruition. We are creative, we take risks, and we learn from our experiences.
Over time we have developed a reputation as a safe place. For example, a freshman student from nearby Aiken High School, running late and missing his bus, had a panic attack and turned to us for help one evening. Another time, a friend of the church brought kids to our space from a different part of town to process the shock of a murder on his street. As a community service, we offer limited access Wi-Fi hotspots that students and community members can access from the bus stop and other points around the perimeter of the Church
The Oasis at Grace is dedicated to serving all people in multiple ways. Some of those ways we have not tried yet. Maybe you have a suggestion or a dream for ways to minister and meet people's needs. If so, let us know how the Oasis at Grace can help bring that dream to life!
