TRADITIONS AND EXPECTATIONS

For veteran Oasis students out there, this is old skool. If you're new, below are Oasis' traditions and expectations. Why do we have them? Becasue you're too important not too! We want Oasis to be the greatest place ever! A place to run to, not to run from. A place of refuge. A place to breathe deep, hang out with a friend and get to know Jesus...together is better!

1. APPROPRIATE PHYSICAL CONTACT. No hand holding, kissing or stuff like that. We'll leave that stuff for the married people to do...at home.
2. STAY ON CAMPUS. Once you are dropped off here, here is where you'll stay.
3. RESOLVE CONFLICT THE RIGHT WAY. No fist fights or anything like it.
4. ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE, ENCOURAGE. NO CUT DOWNS OR INAPPROPRIATE LANGUAGE. We want Oasis to be different than a lot of other places in the world. We want it to be a safe place, a place of encouragement, a place of hope.
5. GUARD THE EYES OF THE GUYS (AND GIRLS). Wear appropriate clothing. If we see a girl or guy that has inappropriate clothing, we have t-shirts they can wear. We won’t embarrass you in front of your friends, but will pull you aside and help you out.
6. KNOW THE PLACES YOU CAN HANG AND WHEN YOU CAN HANG THERE.
7. IF YOUR PARENTS ARE PICKING YOU UP EARLY, THEY MUST COME IN AND GET YOU.
8. CHAIRS FOR EVERYONE. Everyone has their own to sit in.
9. R-E-S-P-E-C-T YOUR LEADERS…AND EACH OTHER. Talk when it’s appropriate. If a leader asks you to do something (like move over, quiet down, or sit up), do it as if it were Jesus himself asking.
10. BATHROOM BREAKS…PLAN AHEAD. You can use the bathroom before or after Oasis or make a quick restroom stop between going in and out of the Auditorium for breakout groups. That’s it. Now if you are going to bust a gut, we will let you out one at a time.
