The Oak Project has always had the desire to unite generations to shape faith-filled leaders in the Greater Nashville area.  We now have paired over 500 individuals in intentional mentoring relationships with the desire to grow personally, professionally, relationally, and spiritually.

Operation Andrew Group's mission to unite the Body of Christ has always included the business and professional sectors. The Oak Project was created after surveying numerous mentorship programs around the country to establish a program that would:

• pass on strong, Godly leadership qualities
• engage both mentees and mentors with purpose and calling
• relationally unite generations
• serve those who want to excel personally, professionally, relationally and spiritually
• encourage and support those who want to live out their faith in their workplace and communities to look more like Jesus.

The initial cohort of the Oak Project in 2015 had an amazing response of over 60 individuals, both mentors and mentees, that invested in being a part of an intentional mentoring relationship. We were extremely blessed to have notable leaders such as Marty Dickens, Nancy Reece, and Joe Hutts join the first year of the program, which allowed us to lean on their credibility to recruit program participants. After several months, groups shared story after story of how impactful their mentorship group had already been and how they knew the bonds built would last for decades.

As we look back on the history of the Oak Project, our groups reported that they built new friendships, viewed their vocation in a new lens, negotiated raises, served together, walked together through hard times, gained new perspectives, and most importantly became more like Jesus together. Our mentors have navigated everyday life moments as well as significant milestones.

We invite you to be a part of the Project, where God's design to unite His people from various professions, backgrounds, cultures, and stages of life, learn and grow together, in Jesus' name.
