What We Do
INTRODUCTION
As a community of believers, our goal is to deepen our faith, enhance our love for God, nurture our love for one another, and extend our care to those around us. To achieve this, we engage in various activities. Every week on Sunday, we hold a gathering to listen to God's word, to praise Him, to pray, and also to meet and build one another up.
Furthermore, we have Bible study evenings, prayer evenings, and offer pastoral care. We support initiatives for development aid and missionaries to reach other parts of the world with the gospel. Would you like to know more? Feel free to contact us or visit one of our services.
Alpha
LEARN ABOUT GOD
Alpha is a series of weekly social gatherings where, in an open, respectful and friendly atmosphere, we reflect on and discuss life and (re)discover the basics of the Christian faith. You can participate in Alpha whether you attend church or not, or even if you know little about the Christian faith.
At Alpha, we start together with a nice meal. Afterwards, it's time for a short, inspiring episode from the Alpha Film Series. The episode serves as an introduction, after which we discuss the topic of that episode together. There is room to ask questions and to exchange thoughts while enjoying a cup of coffee or tea. If you would like to join, please send a quick email to the secretary, and we will let you know of the available dates.
Pastoral Care
Caring with Love and Compassion
Care Group Pastoral Care
The title 'care group pastoral care' says it all. Pastoral care within De Oase begins at the level of looking after and caring for one another within the care groups (home groups). This pastoral care is expressed through:
- Caring for the weak and the sick. For example, sending a card, hospital visits by care group members, or home visits by care group members and/or leader.
- Praying for one another. When concerns are shared during care group evenings, prayer is offered for one another.
- Encouraging each other by meeting up outside of care group evenings, during which prayers can also be offered for each other.
Basic Care
For care that does not require immediate professional assistance but cannot be provided within the care groups. The elder team can be approached if the care is insufficiently provided within the care groups. Together, appropriate help is sought.
Professional Care
For individuals with serious psychological issues, we collaborate, when necessary, with Unfold Counselling in Buggenum. Unfold Counselling provides professional assistance for psychological complaints, for those struggling to cope with events, feelings, emotions, stress, relationships, or other current issues.
