OUR LEADERSHIP AND STAFF

The leadership team at Oasis Christian Fellowship consists of men of God ordained to guide our community in faith, answer questions, conduct services and organize church events.

BRIAN BARLOW

SENIOR PASTOR

Brian was born, raised, and lived in Southern California until following God's call to ministry in Wisconsin in 1992— a journey which led him from the sunny shores of the Pacific, to the snowy plains of the Midwest.

He has been actively involved in church leadership for the past forty-plus years, serving as worship leader, youth leader, family pastor, and senior pastor and in other capacities. Brian was called to fill the Senior Pastor position at Oasis Christian Fellowship in 2006.

Brian has a vision for OCF to follow the Biblical example of the early church, through instruction in the Word of God, prayer, fellowship, worship and service—an active application of the Word of God in the lives of all those who call Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior.

Brian enjoys music (making and listening to), reading, and the outdoors--whether that means going for a long walk in the woods, sitting on an ocean beach, or kayaking with his wife Lisa. He also loves to pray with, and talk with others about the Lord.

Brian and Lisa have 6 children, 8 grandchildren, and live in Plainfield, Wisconsin.

BOARD MEMBER

Lane Gibson

Lane is from Orange County, California. He came to receive the Lord in 1988 as a young civil engineer looking for an answer to the empty promises of the “American Dream.” Though he began to attend a mainline denominational church, he discovered “through the Bible” Spirit-filled ministry on Christian radio and was instantly hooked. In 1992, at the call of the Lord, he left engineering and went to Calvary Chapel’s Bible college in the San Bernadino mountains in SoCal. Hearing the Lord’s call to to the strange and far-off land of Wisconsin after completing studies, he served for 23 years as an assisting pastor. For the last 7 years, he has been employed in Green Bay at Brander Engineering as a drafter & specification writer, and has been providing pulpit supply ministries around Wisconsin.
