About Oasis Media Group | Faith-First Digital Agency | Pensacola, FL

Built by Hand, in Pensacola

We build the digital home for the people doing the actual work of building others up.

Oasis Media Group is a faith-first digital agency serving churches, Christian schools, ministries, and creators across the Gulf Coast. Modern tools. Real ownership. Built around your mission, not around our retainer.

The Story

A studio born out of frustration — and a calling.

Oasis Media Group started with a problem we kept watching play out in real time. Churches were paying premium agency prices for cookie-cutter websites. Christian schools were stuck with platforms that barely worked. Ministries were treated like just another client. And creators were getting nickel-and-dimed for tools they should have owned outright.

Faith-driven work isn't a niche. It's not a category to bolt on after the fact. For the people pouring themselves into it, it's the whole point — and the technology that supports it should reflect that.

So in 2020, after roughly a decade of self-taught development work — building tech for a CNC machine company, a senior living group, and anyone else who needed a problem solved — Alexander Lanclos started Oasis Media Group from Pensacola, Florida. The thesis was simple: faith organizations deserve a partner who understands the language, the governance, and the weight of what's been entrusted to them. No bloated agency fees. No template factories. No lock-in.

"I'd rather build twenty things that actually serve their mission than a hundred that just look good in a portfolio." — Alexander Lanclos, Founder

Five years and 50+ projects later, that thesis still holds. What started as solo project work has grown into a small, focused team and an ecosystem of brands — Oasis Studio (our animation and original content division), and ShepherdOS (a faith-aligned AI assistant for Christian schools). All built around the same principle: excellent craft, in service of the people doing the actual work.

Our headquarters is still Pensacola. Our clients are everywhere from the Gulf Coast to coast-to-coast. And the standard hasn't changed: real partnership, modern technology, complete ownership for the client, and work we're proud to put our name on.

What We Believe

Three Things We Won't Compromise On

Mission-Driven Work

We build for people who are building others up — pastors, teachers, ministry leaders, creators. The work itself matters more than the line item. If we don't believe in what you're doing, we won't take the project.

Excellence as Worship

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord." Craftsmanship isn't separate from faith — it's an expression of it. Nothing ships from this studio that we wouldn't put our own brand on.

Built to Last, Owned by You

Your website, code, brand, and data belong to you. Always. We don't hold deliverables hostage. We don't lock you into proprietary platforms. If we ever part ways, you walk away with everything you paid for.

The Foundation

We don't separate our faith from our work.

Oasis is a faith-rooted company. That doesn't mean we only serve faith clients — we work with creators and small businesses too — but it does mean our standards, our ethics, and our character come from somewhere specific. We pray over our projects. We take Sabbath seriously. We do what we said we'd do, when we said we'd do it.

If you're a ministry, a school, or a creator working on something that builds the Kingdom — we want to help carry the load. If you're not, but you value craft, honesty, and partnership, we still want to hear from you.

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters."

Colossians 3:23
