At Four Oaks, we desire to equip our children with an understanding of the truths of God's Word, the grace of the Gospel, and the character of God, so that they might worship the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
...tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, the wonders that he has done... that the next generation might know them, children yet unborn, and arise and tell them to their children, that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God, keep his commandmentsPsalm 78:4, 6-7
Six Core Values
God-glorifying:
We aim to teach children that God, not man, is the hero of every Bible story and that He deserves all praise and glory.
Heart-focused:
We want to see children’s hearts radically transformed by the Spirit of God. Our aim is to get past the outward behavior and to the heart of each child.
Word-saturated:
We desire for children to be filled with scripture, seeing that the Word of God is living and active and speaks authoritatively to every situation.
Gospel-centered:
We believe the message of the cross is central to all of life. The good news of Jesus Christ is our only hope yesterday, today, and forever.
Mission-minded:
We hope that children will treasure Christ more than anything and proclaim Him to the world.
Discipleship-driven:
We seek to partner with parents in intentionally pursuing the heartsof children by presenting Christ to them in both word and deed.
