Mission Statement
Three Oaks exists to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom for those held captive by habits & addictions; and to comfort and provide for those experiencing grief, by modeling a loving, empowering, Christ-Centered community whereby life transformation & true purpose may be found
“They will be called Oaks of Righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.”
Isaiah 61:1-3
Vision
Three Oaks envisions creating a community center whereby anyone can safely find help, hope, healing and life’s true purpose through a holistic and balanced approach that includes meeting not only emotional and spiritual needs, but the physical, social, and educational ones as well. It is our desire to create an environment whereby anyone, regardless of church background or affiliation, type & depth of need, or ability to pay, can come and receive the necessary tools required to empower them for life long change rooted in a maturing relationship with Christ. Three Oaks embraces a three-pronged approach of recovery, discipleship, & leadership development. To be ran concurrent with the “Recovery Phase,” Three Oaks envisions a medical clinic and food pantry to feed the hungry and offering a variety of basic life-skills education classes.
