Oaks Indian Mission

About Oaks Indian Mission

Founded in 1926 and rooted in the deep historical legacy of Moravian missionaries who walked the Trail of Tears with the Cherokee people, Oaks Indian Mission represents nearly a century of dedicated service to Native American youth in Oaks, Oklahoma. This faith-centered organization emerged from a profound calling to provide vulnerable children with safety, stability, and hope during their most critical years. The mission embraces a holistic philosophy centered on growth in body, mind, and spirit, believing that every child deserves a supportive environment where they can develop into compassionate community leaders. Operating cottage-style homes throughout Oaks, OK, the organization creates family-like settings where children experience genuine belonging alongside educational opportunities and skill-building activities. What distinguishes Oaks Indian Mission is its commitment to cultural diversity, heritage preservation, and partnership-based community engagement. The organization recognizes that transformation happens through relationships—between children and their houseparents, between families and supportive staff, and between the mission and the broader Oaks community. Beyond residential care, Oaks Indian Mission extends compassionate assistance to families facing crisis through humanitarian aid initiatives that provide housing, food, employment support, and educational access. Testimonials from residents and families reveal the profound impact of the mission's work, with young people reporting improved academic performance, better attitudes, and protection from street life. Rooted in servant leadership principles and spiritual values, Oaks Indian Mission continues honoring its heritage while building futures of possibility for the children and families it serves in Oaks, Oklahoma.
