Partner with Oaks to become a rehabilitative community.
Join a collaborative network of churches learning to care well for people in the healing process.
What partnership means
A partnership with Oaks means your church joins a collaborative network of congregations committed to becoming places of real healing.
Partnership is about restored people participating in the work of restoring others through trauma, grief, addiction, and other forms of suffering. Oaks comes alongside your church to develop the ministry structures, trained volunteers, and collaborative relationships with mental health professionals needed to become a genuinely rehabilitative community.
We do not replace your existing ministries or function as an outside counseling practice. Instead, we help your church take hold of the ministry of healing Jesus has given to his body.

People inside that church get scoped roles: Volunteer, Church Steward, Church Admin, and Oaks Admin. The Church Admin role sits between Steward and global Oaks Admin access.
How Our Model Works: Collaborative Care
Oaks doesn’t function as a program your church “runs.” It’s a collaborative model that helps your church grow a culture of care from within.
Through an annual contribution, your church joins a network and receives training, tools, and support that can be used across your existing ministries. This means care doesn’t sit in one place—it’s integrated into relationships, groups, and leadership throughout your church.
We come alongside your church and other partner churches in your region to help you build sustainable, relational pathways for people to experience healing with God and others.
Collaborative Contribution Model
Our model is built on shared investment in the work of care across the Church.
In addition to standard partnership contributions, churches have the option to:
- Sponsor another church’s participation
- Give above the annual contribution to support Oaks’ ongoing development
- Request a reduced rate or scholarship if cost is a barrier
This approach allows us to remain accessible while cultivating a network of churches who are resourcing one another in the work of healing and restoration.
