Statement of Purpose

T.E.A.C.H.E'rs exists to serve the Lord Jesus Christ by:

• encouraging home educating parents to train up their children in the way they should go (Prov 22:6) and to pursue the development of Christian character as their primary goal, even above academic excellence (Gal. 5:22-23).
• encouraging excellence in individual homeschools (Col. 3:17).
• helping new home-educating parents get started.
• informing home educators about available resources.
• providing opportunities for home educators to meet and encourage one another.
• monitoring the legislature and passing along pertinent information to the home-educating network.
• organizing field trips, and educational and extracurricular activities.

Statement of Faith

We believe in the eternally existing, triune God; man's sinful nature and need for redemption; and Jesus Christ's atoning death and resurrection. We believe in the inerrancy of the Bible and that it is the foundation upon which all education should be based (Rom. 12:1-2, Josh. 1:8, 2 Tim. 3:16, Col. 2:8, Jas. 1:5, Deut. 6:6-9). No denomination or individual doctrine will be promoted.

To participate in a T.E.A.C.H.E'rs sponsored activity, you need not agree with these statements, only understand that this is the basis from which the T.E.A.C.H.E'rs board will govern.
