Oasis
Oasis is the mercy ministry of Lake Baldwin Church
We believe that the church should be a blessing to the community in which God has placed it. Therefore, we make it a priority to serve the city of Orlando and to bring the Good News of God's Kingdom to the broken parts of our city. We do this primarily through our Missional Communities.
Each of our Missional Communities identifies an area where their passions and interests overlap with the needs of their community and seek to engage in that area. Some groups may work with the poor or homeless, others may seek ways to serve and improve their local schools. Join us on this journey of missional engagement in our city by joining a Missional Community.
