Our History

Founded in 2011, Serving Hands Community Center Ministries was established with a vision to provide families in Oakland, TN, with a supportive organization based on Christian faith. Over the years, we have expanded our programs and facilities to better serve the needs of our students and the community. Our growth is a testament to the commitment and passion of our members, teachers, staff, and the families who trust us with their children’s education.

With every passing year, we remain committed to the same founding principles that have guided us since our inception: a devotion to academic excellence, a dedication to Christian values, and a desire to serve our community through education.
