Our Story
The
Beginning
The Coetzee family was living in the world and doing their best to live a good life. Going to church every Sunday, but their life didn't reflect the love of Jesus. In 2012, God showed up and made Himself known and the entire family was touched by the Holy Ghost.
The word of God became alive, and God went from something they read about to someone who was alive and real in their life. He began to prune and mold them to not look like the world but gave them a new heart to look like Jesus.
Our heart is to see people touched by God and get to know Him. Just as He revealed Himself to us, His desire is to know you and we want to share that good news.
Our team serves with the value of a heart posture open to the Lord, and walking in humility.
We believe in cultivating a relationship with the Lord for yourself first, before sharing it with others.
Meet Our Team
Sean and Susan Coetzee
Susan and Sean have been married for 23 years and have two children: Declan, currently attending UH on Oahu, and Darian, who is a senior at Bend Senior High.
Right now their favorite thing to do is go to Hawaii to see Declan and other family on the big island. When in Bend, they enjoy floating, SUPing and of course love eating meals outside on our deck.
Family time is always full of joy and laughter and everywhere they go, they have a good time. They love the beauty of Central Oregon and are grateful the Lord moved them here in 2012!
Garrett and Erica Hamilton
Garrett and Erica Hamilton met at Oasis a year and a half ago when the church opened, with hearts hungry to serve the Lord. They married on June 17th, 2023 and both share a heart for people to experience true intimacy with God the Father.
The Hamilton’s desire is to live as Jesus spoke; “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:36-40
With that being said, we believe we are meant to love our community well by meeting the lost, welcoming them into family, and walking with them through their journey of sanctification. As we love people and do life together in a more intimate setting, discipleship and growth can actually occur. That is why we feel called to build community and grow in relationship with God and others, for the purpose of seeing people step into their true identity in Christ and experience freedom and deliverance through the dunamis power of the Holy Spirit.
