From a revival in Saginaw to a church family in Haslet. Through every chapter, we remember God’s faithfulness and the people who said yes.
FJ and Lillie Pearce were invited to preach a revival at a small church in Saginaw, Texas, that had no pastor. After the revival, they sensed God leading them to establish the church with the Assemblies of God. FJ served as pastor until his retirement in 1997.
Following FJ’s retirement, his daughter and son-in-law, Judy and Ronnie Horton, became pastors of Saginaw Assembly of God.
Pastor Little led the congregation during this chapter of its story.
Pastor Tommy Hays served Saginaw Assembly of God through a season of care and renewal.
Randy and Lorrie Lemme arrived with their daughters, Haley and Courtney, to become the church’s pastors. Their ministry continues today at Oasis.
Pastor Randy sensed God leading the church toward a name that reflected the ministry taking shape. Saginaw Assembly of God became The Oasis Church International.
Rhome Assembly of God had a long, rich history before joining Oasis in 2018. In 2019, the Rhome campus merged with the Haslet campus at a crucial time in the development of the church.
The Saginaw congregation relocated to Leo Adams Middle School, just off Highway 287 in Haslet.
Pastor Randy sensed God leading the congregation to leave the school and find a rental space. They moved into a space behind the future church site. When schools closed in March during the pandemic, the church had already found its next home.
Construction began on a 20,000-square-foot facility where Oasis could put down roots and continue serving the community.
The congregation moved from the rental space into its new building. Today, this is where Oasis gathers in Haslet, and where the story continues.
Different chapters. A continuing calling to connect people to Jesus and to one another.
After Pastor Gary Smith prophesied that “the latter shall be greater than the former” over Saginaw Assembly of God, founder F. J. Pearce began repeating a phrase that continues to encourage our church: “The Best is Yet to Come.”
Our history lives in the people who worship, serve, and grow here, and in the people we have yet to meet.
