Welcome to Oasis Christian Centre

OASIS is an interdenominational Trust which opened in 1984.

Whilst seeking to share the Gospel of Jesus, the Centre also provides help for countries in the developing world by providing a ready outlet for their goods.

We welcome people to call in to browse, or to buy!


Oasis also supports:

The staff collect items together for Love Russia appeals and SCRATCH. We also take in used stamps which are then passed on to the Leprosy mission.


25 years old!

Oasis celebrated 25 years on 22nd September 2009. It hardly seems possible that in 1984 the shop was almost derelict and a small work party discovered under false ceilings, Tudor beams, oak panels and even wattle and daub walls.

The history of the building revealed it was built in 1601 as part of the King John estate. There is now a plaque on the outside wall stating that in 1666 it was the home of John Cox, Mayor of Romsey, the first Romsonian to swear allegiance to Charles 2nd. The earliest deeds from 1642 show that the premises have been used for trading from that date to the present day. Late Victorian photographs show a card rack in the doorway – similar to our current postcards!

Over the year the Oasis Trust has been involved in the local community in numerous ways. Many staff members have gone on to other vocations (and some worldwide locations). Romsey’s independent bookshop was borne out of some of the expertise of the Oasis management and staff at the time.

25 years – a quarter of a century of sheer hard work but abundant blessings – God is Good!
