Oasis Church in Bray Park, the same church that established Genesis Christian College, is planning a significant expansion, increasing its size by over 150 per cent. A separate proposal for a new gospel meeting hall in Morayfield has been lodged.
Oasis Church, located beside Genesis Christian College on Youngs Crossing Road, has submitted a development application to Moreton Bay City Council outlining a three-stage renovation and expansion. The initial stage will focus on constructing a new foyer, entry area, kitchen, and covered outdoor plaza.
The second stage involves enlarging and reorienting the auditorium to connect with the new entry and the site’s eastern side, which will also be landscaped. In the final stage, a new two-storey building will replace the existing church office and youth hall. This building will house a reception area, administrative offices, a hall, and spaces for children, youth, and meetings.
The northern side of the building will receive new car parking and service areas. Upon completion, the church’s gross floor area will increase from 1472 square metres to 3820 square metres. The church, originally known as the Reformed Church of Stafford, relocated to the Youngs Crossing Road site in 1989, became Oasis Church the same year, and subsequently established Genesis Christian College in 1991.
In Morayfield, a separate development application has been submitted for a new single-story “place of worship (gospel meeting hall)” at the corner of Elm Court and Oakey Flat Road. The proposed building is intended for “family prayer meetings.” The hall is expected to host services on Sundays from 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 am and on Mondays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., with an estimated attendance of 40 to 50 people. Attendees are expected to arrive and depart within 15 minutes of the service times.
The development application states that the venue will not be used for weddings, christenings, funerals, or large gatherings. These events will be held at existing venues in Bridges Road, Morayfield, and Rowley Road, Burpengary. The proposed building will have a gross floor area of 127.5 square metres, and on-site parking will be provided.
