At The Oaks Collaborative, we collaborate with college ministries and churches to host retreats, connecting students with upperclassmen to cultivate meaningful relationships with Christ and others. Our mission is to collaborate with local churches and ministries to create opportunities that cultivate meaningful relationships in the lives of college students to connect them to Christ and His Church, to be equipped to grow, and to be sent out to make a difference.

Mason grew up in church and came to college knowing that getting plugged into a church was the right thing to do and something his parents were hoping for him.

He attended one of our retreats thinking he would simply find a few more friends and then check out “college life.” What he found at the retreat were upperclassmen leaders who were truly interested in his story and walk with the Lord, local churches and ministries to strengthen and support him, and a newfound faith that was all his own.

2 million high school seniors will graduate and go to college this year. What happens at the start is crucial. Together, we must reach them first.

Our Ambassador Program is a place for anyone who wants to see students across the country start college rooted in Christ and Christ-centered community. Ambassadors can do a variety of things from reaching out to youth pastors or high schools to committing to engaging with and reposting social media. We know every person has a circle of influence. YOU can be the reason a freshman finds Christ-centered community in college!

Launching a new retreat location takes lots of prayer, commitment from our New Retreats Team, faithful partnering donors, and motivated students and ministry partners on the ground helping make it happen.

Because of these people and the Lord’s provision we’re grateful to announce TWO more retreats joining our 2026 lineup, bringing us to 25 retreats across 15 states!

These retreats exist to help incoming students start college rooted in Christ and surrounded by Christ-centered community before they even step foot on campus.

📍The Beacon Retreat | Spartanburg, South Carolina
📍The North Star Retreat | Twin Cities, Minnesota

We wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to youth leaders.

We see you this May! Wrapping up the school year, planning Senior Sundays, baccalaureates and soaking in those last few meetings with your senior students. Praying extra prayers over them with hope that they will stay rooted in Christ as they head to college.

We know you desire for your graduating seniors to continue walking closely with Christ in college…our retreats provide an avenue to help that happen.

Today marks 100 days until retreats kick off for incoming students! 🎉

In just 100 days, incoming college students will step into a 3 day, 2 night retreat that could shape the rest of their college experience! A chance to find their people, place and purpose before classes start on campus.

Every prayer and step of preparation between now and then is helping create a space where students will be connected to others, equipped to start college strong and then sent out to make an incredible impact on their campus and for the rest of their lives.

The countdown is on and there’s so much to celebrate! Find a retreat at www.theoakscollaborative.com/retreat-info!

For many students, the hardest part of starting college isn’t academics — it’s finding community and staying rooted in their faith. That’s where our retreats come in!

We help incoming students get connected to Christ-centered community before they even step on campus and we’re excited to share that all retreat dates are now finalized!

If you know an incoming college student, this is a great first step for them as they're starting this chapter of life.

Prayer is an integral part of our ministry and each of our retreats.

We love how Sutton describes how prayer reflects the culture of each retreat and the hope that each incoming student will see the character of the Lord through the retreat and find community as they start college.

🙏 Today is Collegiate Day of Prayer 🙏

Prayer is a foundational part of our ministry.

From praying that each incoming freshman class would be the most prayed-over class in that university’s history…
to praying that every leadership team member would grow deeper in their personal prayer life as they serve…
to praying daily as an Oaks Collaborative team that we would be led by the Lord in all we do.

We stand fully behind the call to pray for college campuses today.

Will you stand with us?

Pray for this generation of college students...that they would be rooted in Christ, strengthened through Christ-centered community, and bear fruit for His name on every campus they represent.
