As we close out another year and invite you to partner with us through giving, we decided this would be a great time to refresh ourselves on the "Roots of Oak Tree." Why should you give to Oak Tree? How do we use your gifts anyways? What do we even do in Marks Village?
It's all found in the passage of Scripture that birthed our name, Isaiah 61:3b-4
"They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations."
Why does Oak Tree exist?
Because Jesus has rescued us, the GOSPEL is at the CENTER of all that we do at Oak Tree. The good news isn’t meant to stop with us as individuals, it’s meant to transform us collectively to display His good plans for His growing family.
Unfortunately, we have often failed at living out our new identity and the devastation in our city reflects that; but by God’s grace it’s never too late for repentance and faith to be put into action! We are invited to join in His work to “RENEW the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.”
Oak Tree is a special place where followers of Jesus from all walks of life come together to love God and love our neighbors in both word and deed!
