It’s all about people - God created and loves them. People are God’s workmanship - we are a bunch of workmen & woman on a ship called the OCMC on a voyage of a lifetime! We are a small, full & part-time team of dedicated, creative, fun-loving, multi-skilled, God-worshipping, Revival-loving messengers. Our mission is to capture, create, collaborate, connect in the sphere of our local church’s multimedia forms - print, digital, audio, music.

We are characterised by our creativity, joy, hard work, problem solving, support. We value Kingdom principles, Godliness, Purity, Radicalness, Passion, forcefully advancing the Kingdom, representing Jesus and His message, Truth; passionate, fresh and vibrant music & worship; capturing prophetic, live, spontaneous worship; capturing and releasing prophetic words across the globe; supporting those who also want to spread the gospel through their specific giftings.
Our goal is to reach as far and wide across the planet as God enables us to - through distribution, dissemination, miraculous intervention, technology, print media, audio media, art...an endless display of creativity through whatever means God enables.

- Our Team
Our team is made up of fulltime, parttime, and voluntary staff, all who are based out of the local church. We’re team of dedicated, creative, adventurous, multi talented, fun loving people who desire to see God's Kingdom advance, the church built up and people set free through the different forms of media from The Oasis Church, for example teaching manuals, soaking music & sermons. Our Team includes operators in the following areas: audio visual, sound & stage, audio recording and production, graphic design, website, computer network, resource centre and general media centre management.The team is involved in running the Media Centre, as well as operating the sound for off-site, trans-local meetings. As our scope is constantly increasing, we are always on the lookout for fresh input from like-minded people.
We believe that media plays a vital role in spreading the Gospel and Teachings today. “Media is an all-encompassing term that refers to a collective of communicatory mediums used to store or transmit information or data. Media is usually intended to inform or influence a wide range of audiences.” (http://mashable.com/category/media/). The Truth found in God’s word, whether conveyed through a sermon, prophetic word, song or sound, artwork, poem, teaching manual, is the message. The Media Centre is the vehicle to spread that message to wherever it’s needed, in the clearest, affordable, intelligible way possible. The intention and purpose is to aid in the transformation process God has initiated in each one of us, and to build up the Bride of Christ - the church, to the uttermost parts of the earth, and to release the Fragrance of Christ through creativity and music.
What We Do
Over the last four years there has been the transition to digital media in increasing measure. We record all sermons and conferences at The Oasis Church, as well as Soaking Sessions twice a week. These are made available on our church Website, either as free downloads or for a nominal fee. Audio production occurs in our developing studio on site, as well as graphic design and photography. Our garage mixes are released on order, on average two per month. These are totally home grown using the skills and creativity of the local church. Our teaching manuals and courses are also published and distributed at The Oasis Church.
We also seek to connect and collaborate with like minded, creative people through various social networks (Blog, Facebook, Google +, Google Groups), as well as during training times at The Oasis Church, (Creative Weekends and Prophetic Training Times). We are involved with all things sound related. Or current unfolding dream is establishing a recording studio onsite to facilitate the recording of the many worship songs written and produced by our local musicians and worshipers.
We have outsourced some tasks and enjoy collaborating with those more skilled in specific areas. A recent exciting development is the Oasis School of Arts where we run a course on Live Sound & Engineering. We also have a heart to raise up the next generation of “creatives” and enjoy helping out other local churches with their media/audio challenges, as well as conducting creative and prophetic art workshops.
Our Creativity Centre includes online resources such as a Blog, Discussion Group and Facebook and Google page.
Create For Life! is a blog (http://cre84life.blogspot.com) that covers a variety of topics around creativity amongst believers. It has grown out of the need in the Church for equipping, sharing, encouraging, collaborating and "revolutionizing" creativity in and through the Church. We aim to flow in God-inspired, adventurous creativity; to release prophetic creativity in and through the church; to adorn the Bride of Christ with a fresh palette of colour! It's edited by Andrew de la Hunt-James from The Oasis Church, and welcomes contributions and questions regarding creativity from anyone.
The Discussion group (https://groups.google.com/group/creativity-centre/) which you can join, aims at collaboration and sharing in a discussion forum - The group is part of our vision to release creativity in and through the church; to enable a flow of anointed creativity in a multidisciplinary approach. We value collaboration and communication - sharing with one another to keep inspired & envisioned as we each pursue our creative dreams.
