SEED TO OAKS <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> 3<br />

Introduction<br />

A Movement of Social Good through The Local Church.<br />

Your business and church have the potential of<br />

becoming the epicenter for social change.<br />

Within your community there are needs. People<br />

need education. They need jobs. They need<br />

quality healthcare. They need development and<br />

opportunity. People need you, your church and<br />

they need Jesus Christ.<br />

The Bible calls all Christians to compassion,<br />

justice and sacrifice. Professionals within every<br />

church desire to stand up for justice, to help<br />

those in need and to restore their community to<br />

one that is truly thriving.<br />

But, they don’t know how to do it on their own.<br />

Seed to Oaks is a non profit that brings real and<br />

lasting community change through a collaboration<br />

between local churches, businesses and civic<br />

agencies, filling the space between the three.<br />

§ A proven approach for lasting social<br />

change.<br />

§ A gain of the public trust due to your<br />

devotion to good.<br />

Our name, Seed to Oaks, comes from Isaiah<br />

61, the great justice chapter in the Bible.<br />

Scripture uses a metaphor to describe local<br />

churches and Christians who love mercy and<br />

do justice; they become “Oaks of<br />

Righteousness,” a planting of the LORD for<br />

the display of his glory (Isaiah 61:3; NIV).<br />

We invite you to plant a movement of social<br />

good through the local church — from seed<br />

to oaks.<br />

We help socially-driven pastors and professionals<br />

connect and mobilize their resources and<br />

influence through guided social initiatives. These<br />

initiatives are proven, strategic and<br />

straightforward to implement — designed as a<br />

sustainable means for community change that is<br />

real and measurable.<br />

Our initiatives are designed to be:<br />

§ A kingdom use of your life’s work and<br />

influence.<br />

§ A powerful application of the Church’s gifts.
