Jesus Statement

What does it mean that The Coffee Oasis is a Christian organization?

We understand that being a Christian organization can mean different things to different people. Being a Christian organization means we believe Jesus is the Way, Truth, and Life. We believe that Hope and Life and Peace and Love and Forgiveness are found in Him.

Therefore, we follow Him.
And following Him means:
We attempt to live the way Jesus lived.
We believe what Jesus believed.
Jesus loved those on the fringes who were often rejected and ostracized.
Like Jesus, we love and serve every individual regardless of their race or religion or gender or identity or values or beliefs or anything else.
We don’t force Jesus on anyone, and we don’t require anyone to believe what we believe. This is the way of Jesus, and we are His followers.
