Meet Our Associate Pastor (Worship Pastor / Youth Pastor /Outreach Administrator): Houston Britt
From a young age Houston discovered that he wanted to use his musical abilities and his life to serve the Lord in ministering to believers and unbelievers. In pursuing this calling he learned to play a variety of instruments, including guitar, piano and drums. Houston has a degree from Gadsden State Community College, and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Mobile in Worship Leadership with a concentration in Church Ministry. After graduating from the University of Mobile, Houston decided he would partner with his parents in beginning a new work that has now become Oasis Church. He firmly believes the biggest mission for the church is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed, making the most of every opportunity to make genuine Christ following disciples. Houston and his wife, Sarah, married in November 2017 and make their home with their two children in Gulf Shores. Houston loves working with Oasis, ministering to others, and building genuine relationships. His hobbies are: playing music, fishing, hunting, hiking, and building things.
Meet Our Young Adult Ministry Leader / Associate Worship Pastor: Hunter Britt
Hunter began serving the local church at a young age. Growing up, he was involved with everything from worship leadership to teaching bible studies to organizing camps and outreach events in the Birmingham area. After high school he spent several years serving as a worship leader in his home town. In August of 2017, Hunter felt the calling to join with the ministry at Oasis Church where he now leads the Young Adult and Student Ministry, making it his top priority to serve them through prayer, small groups, special events and anything else he can do to help these individuals grow and know the love of Christ. One of his greatest passions is building relationships with people and creating life-changing community in their day-to-day lives, and he is committed to helping others find freedom and purpose through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
