Oak Hall Episcopal School vs. Global Harvest Christian School

Oak Hall is dedicated to ensuring the intellectual, creative, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of each student to his/her fullest potential within a catholic Christian atmosphere.

Our school is a nurturing, caring and supportive family-centered place where Christian principles, morals and values are taught.

The faculty and staff are here because of their commitment to children.

Each child is seen as special and unique.  Children deserve an education that prepares them to meet the challenges of a changing world with intellectual skill, self-confidence and character.

"The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray for the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Matthew 9:37-38 "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 There are several areas that we will focus on. First, children will be equipped for their work of the ministry. Each child has a destiny in Christ and a purpose in the kingdom of God. Every child has a ministry whether in the church, or in the secular realm. Every child`s future requires preparation, training, and equipping. Children need to understand how to live according to Godly standards in all aspects of life. Children also need practical knowledge, understanding, and wisdom of pertinent subject matter. We find in Luke 2:52 that Jesus Himself grew in wisdom, stature, and in favor with man and God. Jesus had to receive training in order to grow in wisdom, to have physical health and strength, to have social skills and friendships with others, as well as having a relationship with His heavenly father. This is also true for children. God created man each with a different gift and purpose. However, there are some commands God established for everyone. In Genesis 1:28, we find the Great Mandate that states God created man to take dominion over creation and to subdue it. As Christians, we are overcomers who have the duty to overcome the enemy and their own weaknesses of the flesh. Students need to learn academically in order to take dominion in the physical realm as well. Another purpose that God established for man is found in Matthew 28:19-20. The Great Commission tells us to go into the entire world making disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them. God is concerned for all the nations, and His looking for those who will go to share His Good News of the Gospel. Thus, students need to be equipped to go to nations and do the work of ministry. God also gives the Great Commandment in Matthew 22:37-39 to love God and love your neighbor as yourself. It is important for all students to learn how to develop an intimate relationship with the Lord. It is also important for students to develop Godly character and learn to love their neighbor. Finally, students must learn who they are in Christ. Once students have gained knowledge, understanding and wisdom as to who they are in Christ they will be able to fulfill all that God has commanded and established for their lives. We have an earnest desire to see children become all that God has planned for them, to be equipped and successful in ministry and in their personal lives.
