Starting in 1985, Community Church first opened it’s doors at the YMCA in downtown Oshkosh. Founded by Pastor Steve Johnson, the church became a safe space for people with questions about faith to explore Christianity in community. As the church grew, it moved first to a building on Jackson St. for 10 years before building a new facility on Ryf Rd.
The new building hosted it’s first church gathering on November 12, 2000. Since then, God has continued to do incredible work in, through, and around Community Church. As Community Church continues into the next season of life here in the Oshkosh area, it finds itself moving back into the city of it’s birth. Passionate about being a community of faith, bringing faith to the community, Community Church identifies itself in God’s restorative plan of making disciples of all nations.

God doesn’t call us to be spectators…God calls us to be participants. When Jesus sent us out by way of the Great Commission (Matt 28), he instructs to “go and make disciples of all nations.” It’s never been about showing up for a worship service, but rather participating as the church in what God is already doing. God calls us to live in community, on mission into our communities.

As a church, we believe in living lives of generosity. Jesus spoke often about meeting the needs of others, not just financially but also in our time and resources. As a community, we are working together to create more and more opportunities for the church to participate in this.
Financial giving has always been available on Sunday mornings, or by sending checks by mail…but now it’s also available online. We are using paypal as our hub for online giving because of it’s security, reputation, convenience, and cost (it’s free). If you have any questions about online giving, please contact us here!

Ask people, “Who is Jesus?” and you will get opinions that range from a tragic, historical figure to a teacher who spoke of love. That is not surprising. Jesus one time asked his disciples a similar question and received similar answers. He then asked his followers, “Who do you say that I am?” Jesus knew the answer and wanted his followers to not only say what they thought but live it out in action.
Jesus took responsibility for what wasn’t his fault. He took responsibility for our sin, our mess, our failures. The…

Jesus was all about living lives in community. When He came on the scene 2,000 years ago he took a group of people and gathered them together in a family of faith. Jesus said that the distinguishing mark of this community of faith should be LOVE! Not just love for Him, but love for the things that He loves. Ephesians 5 says that Jesus loved the church so much that he was willing to give up His life for it. In John 13:35 Jesus said– “by this all people will know that…

Towards the end of Jesus’ life he challenged this community of faith to not only love one another but to go out and impact their community by loving them with His love. The idea of bringing faith to the community is to find an area of society where there is a lack of Gospel presence and form a Jesus community in that particular area. It’s not generic, it’s specific. We want to encourage people to identify the place God has called them to (either a neighborhood or network), and then incarnate the…

Some people see the Bible as a collection of stories with morals for life application. But it is so much more than that. Sure, the Bible has some stories in it, but it is also full of poetry, history, codes of law and civilization, songs, prophecy — even a love letter. When you tie it all together, something remarkable happens. A story is revealed. One story. The story of restoration through Jesus.
