Partnerships

In 2011 Oasis Family Church formed the Marlborough Community Development Trust to serve the people of Blenheim. The trust operates independently from Oasis Family Church, but has strong relational ties.  The Trust endeavors to create meaningful connections that encourage, empower and support people through life.

This programme for Preschoolers, run by the MCD Trust, is about children having fun as well as helping them develop in areas of, but not limited to:

Counting - Repetition - Catching - Spinning (helps develop a sense of balance) - Rhythm - Colours - Self-Esteem

This group offers a great opportunity of support and socialising with other parents of preschoolers. It would be great to see you and your preschooler(s) come along and become a part of this group.

When:  Every Tuesday morning during the school term at 9:30am - 10:30am
Where: At 'The Foundry, John Street, Blenheim.
Cost: Weekly Gold coin donation.
What else: ​Morning tea for children and parents provided.

 Breakfast Club
This programme is currently running in Blenheim and Mayfield schools.
One morning each week volunteers provide breakfast and games for any students that want to come along. It's a great way to serve the children of our community and give the children a great start to the day. 

7 Habits
Based on Sean Covey's book 'The 7 Habit of Highly Effective Teenagers' the Trust administers this programme to a huge number of Year 8 students throughout Blenheim. Working through the schools this programme seeks to equip the students with practical life skills and principles.

School Stationery Project
Annually the Trust raises enough funds to provide every student at Blenheim and Mayfield School with all the stationery they will need for the year. Fundraising comes not only through those that attend Oasis Family Church but in previous years has involved other churches and fundraising events involving the families of the children who attend these schools. It's a great way to connect with and support these families.
