About The Oaks Tutorials

That they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified. ~ Isaiah 61:3

As a home based program, we are committed to partnering with parents as they rear their children to be lifelong learners who, with wisdom and glory, shape and influence their world for Christ. In community, we will communicate the gospel, which is the goal of classical education: obey his commands (grammar), seek after wisdom (logic), and share the good news (rhetoric).

 

Our Purpose

Acknowledging that the Scriptures make clear that fathers are to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord, The Oaks Tutorials seeks to come alongside families, assisting them in their pursuit of classical and Christian education within a nurturing community. Each class is taught according to classical methods and from a Christian worldview. We intend to:

1) Encourage students to enjoy learning more about God and His creation. 

2) Teach students how to reason and communicate in a way that is theologically and intellectually sound. 

3) Equip students to be wise and virtuous in a biblical, God-honoring way.

What We Believe

1. We believe the Bible to be the only inerrant, authoritative Word of God. 

2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. 

3. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all they contain, and that He upholds and governs them in accordance with his eternal will.

4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory. 

5. We believe that, for the salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely necessary. 

6. We believe that salvation is by grace through faith alone. 

7. We believe that faith without works is dead. 

8. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. 

9. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved to the resurrection of life and they that are lost to the resurrection of damnation. 

10. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

11. We believe the Bible teaches that God created man, male and female, after His own image and commissioned them to be fruitful and multiply, to fill the earth and subdue it, taking dominion over the earth and bringing it to mature fruitfulness for His glory. To this end, God ordained marriage to exist between one man and one woman. All sexual relationships between men and women are unlawful outside the bounds of the marriage covenant. All sexual relationships between members of the same sex are contrary to God’s created order and an abomination in His sight. 

12. We believe the Bible teaches that no man is intentionally to take the life of another, unless as an authorized representative of God as a magistrate in the administration of justice or in defense of himself or his neighbor (as a private citizen or as a member of the armed forces of his country). Otherwise, a man’s life is to be protected from the moment of conception till the day of death. 

The above list is the foundation of beliefs on which The Oaks Tutorials is based. These are also the key elements of Christianity that will be unapologetically taught in various ways through all grade levels.
