Statement of Faith

​

We believe the Bible to be the infallible Word of God, the supreme and final authority for all faith and life. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension and His imminent bodily return in power and glory. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore lost and only those who put their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ alone can be saved. We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man by grace and received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, whose substitutionary death on the cross paid the penalty for man's sin. We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, indwell, guide, instruct and empower the believer for godly living and service. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers through our common faith in Jesus Christ and that doctrinal differences which may exist should not hinder the unity of Christian Home Educators.

​

What We Do

​

We are a Christian homeschool enrichment and encouragement group

designed to encourage people to home educate, to help them in that

process, to bring homeschool families together for mutual benefit, and

to provide a collective of information, classes, resources, and friendship.

 

Our meetings are usually held on the 2nd Thursday of the month.  

Meetings include such things as  guest speakers, ice cream social,

personal homeschool evaluation, geography night, essay contest,

talent show, project night, and discussion on certain topics.  

We meet at a variety of churches in the Metro East area.
