Why Planting Oaks?

Our Vision

We are a community that partners together to raise and educate our children in the gospel; teaching them to love God and learning, be free thinkers, and develop resilient Christ-like character in order to be sent out on mission into the world to make much of Jesus.

What are we?

Planting Oaks is a Christian, classical homeschool program that meets at two different locations: Crown Point Church in Mandarin and Mars Hill Church in Avondale. We meet Monday through Wednesday from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. Students will come together to complete their homeschool work in a classroom setting with a tutor. Then, on Thursday and Friday, they will complete their homeschool work at home.

Our Beliefs

  • God's Word

    We believe the Bible is the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God; authoritative over our lives and the only way to know Truth.

  • One Triune God

    We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord

    We believe in the finished work of Christ’s death and resurrection from the dead, in order that those who profess their faith in Him would be declared righteous.

  • The Holy Spirit

    We believe the Holy Spirit works continually in the life of all believers; growing us into the image of Christ until He presents us blameless before God.

  • The Great Commission

    We believe that Christ has given us a ministry of reconciliation; to go into all the world and make disciple-making disciples, in order that one day the whole world would be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.
