Oasis Christian Fellowship
Charity 1017350
Overview
Summary
Oasis Christian Fellowship appears to combine the role of a worshipping community with a pastoral-support hub for people experiencing personal difficulty. Its public identity centres on acceptance, healing and hope, while its registered purposes and charitable classifications suggest a broader ambition spanning poverty relief, education, community development and support for other voluntary bodies. The available evidence indicates a relational, faith-led model, but does not yet show the scale, reach or practical form of its wider charitable activity.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
North Edgbaston
Confidence: low
Direct evidence identifies Oasis Church Centre in Birmingham as the charity's address and an active church/centre. The Charity Commission also records that the charity owns and/or leases land or property. However, the available evidence does not directly establish the charity's operational activity within North Edgbaston.
- Charity Commission for England and Wales, Oasis Christian Fellowship charity number 1017350, contact information and full charity record
Lists the charity's address as Oasis Church Centre, Birmingham, records its activities as Sunday services, Alpha groups, ministry, counselling and healing prayer, and states that the charity owns and/or leases land or property. - Birmingham City Council, North Edgbaston ward map
Provides the current official boundary mapping for North Edgbaston. - Peace Hub, Refugee Stories event listing, July 2025
Lists Oasis Church Centre as the venue for a public community event, supporting that the venue is an operating venue rather than solely a correspondence address.
City Centre
Confidence: medium
There is direct evidence that Oasis provides healing prayer in connection with Birmingham Healing Rooms. The Healing Rooms' current official listing locates that service at St Martin's in the Bull Ring, in the City Centre. However, the available evidence does not specify whether Oasis delivers sessions there directly, supplies volunteers, or has another form of connection.
- Charity Commission for England and Wales, Oasis Christian Fellowship charity number 1017350, charity overview
States that the charity provides healing prayer in connection with Birmingham Healing Rooms. - Healing Rooms England and Wales, Birmingham Healing Rooms listing
Lists Birmingham Healing Rooms at St Martin's in the Bull Ring, Birmingham, with weekly Friday opening times for prayer ministry.
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission records Birmingham City as the area in which Oasis operates, which is direct self-reported evidence supporting a citywide overall footprint. However, the available material identifies only one clearly evidenced Oasis-operated site and one partnership-linked City Centre service location; it does not show regular direct delivery across multiple Birmingham neighbourhoods.
- It is unclear whether Birmingham Healing Rooms is a formal delivery partnership, a volunteer network in which Oasis members participate, or a referral/ministry connection. Its City Centre location should therefore be treated as a material but medium-confidence extension of Oasis's operational reach.
- No current evidence was found for additional Oasis-operated sites, neighbourhood projects, or geographically targeted beneficiary programmes elsewhere in Birmingham.
Additional evidence needed
- A current programme timetable or annual report identifying where Sunday services, Alpha groups, counselling and healing-prayer sessions are delivered.
- Confirmation from Oasis or Birmingham Healing Rooms of Oasis's precise role at St Martin's in the Bull Ring, including whether Oasis volunteers deliver or host the service.
- Current information on the geographic origin of service users or any outreach activity that would substantiate, qualify or narrow the charity's Birmingham City self-reported coverage.

Observations
Pastoral care appears to be the organisation's central operating model
The evidence suggests that Oasis Christian Fellowship is not only organised around religious services: it may use Christian ministry, counselling and healing prayer as its main way of supporting people facing emotional, social or personal disruption.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the organisation from a congregation whose public activity is primarily worship. Its potential civic role may lie in providing relationship-based support for people who may not be reached by formal services.

The organisation may function as a bridge between faith community and wider support networks
By serving non-members, helping other charities or voluntary bodies, and connecting healing prayer with Birmingham Healing Rooms, Oasis appears to operate beyond its immediate congregation and may contribute to a wider informal support ecosystem.
Why it matters
This raises a useful question about its relationships: the organisation may hold trusted community connections that could complement other support providers, even where formal partnerships are not yet visible.

Its formal charitable scope is broader than its visible public offer
The registered objects and classifications indicate ambitions in poverty relief, education, overseas aid and community development, including grants and human-resource support. However, the website material foregrounds welcome, worship and healing rather than these wider functions.
Why it matters
This difference may indicate under-communicated capability, occasional rather than core activity, or a gap between stated charitable scope and current delivery. It would be valuable to understand which of these areas are active in practice.

- Who uses the counselling and prayer support, how referrals occur, and whether professional safeguarding or clinical support arrangements are in place.

Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports or trustee reports showing activities, expenditure, grants, partnerships and numbers of people supported.
- Information on counselling provision, safeguarding, referral pathways, volunteer roles and support offered to non-members.
- A current programme list showing how the organisation delivers its poverty, education and community-development aims.
