Who We Are
We are a community of disciples that live as a wellspring of life amidst the desert of the city. We are called to be connected and to connect others to the life giving waters of God's Holy Presence. We are formed, together, by the truth of Jesus and his presence in and among us.

Our Lead Pastors
JP & Rachel Troglio
JP and Rachel Troglio have a deep passion to see people transformed through the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Inspired by the idea of an “Oasis” as a wellspring of life in the midst of a desert, they committed to starting a local church in Chicago in 2016. Since then, the community of Oasis Church Chicago has flourished as JP and Rachel foster a vision to see the kingdom of God come to earth, lives set free through Jesus, people empowered by the Holy Spirit, and growth in heavenly calling.
