An usher is a pastor or minister's helper who is called to the ministry of HELPS. An usher is a minister, called of God and equipped with skills, talents, wisdom, and the knowledge necessary to be a servant to everyone in the local church.

People need ushering, as seen in I Corinthians 14:40 "Let all things be done decently and in order." The usher's role is a vital and important one. Many times when individuals come to Christ's Oasis Ministries, the usher is the only one they have any direct contact with. To this person the usher is "the church," therefore, the impression set forth by that usher is a lasting one that could determine whether or not the individual will form a connection to the church and the pastor. The usher becomes a public relations representative for his or her church and his pastor. Visitors to the church must feel wanted, loved, comfortable and important in order to be open to receive God's word being preached in the church and also be at liberty to worship. One of the usher's chief responsibilities is to see that everyone has this feeling. At The Oasis our Ushers make sure that anybody who walks through the doors into the sanctuary are refreshed by the Presence of God which is always found there.
