Yes we do, 

One True God
We believe in one God, eternally existing as the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He
is infinitely perfect, holy, and loving. In the unity of the Godhead, He exists in three
persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
? Scripture: Genesis 1:1; Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19

Salvation Through Jesus Christ
We believe that Jesus Christ came to die for our sins as a holy sacrifice. Through His
death and bodily resurrection, He paid the debt for humanity's sins. Salvation and
forgiveness are free gifts of God's grace, received solely through personal faith in
Jesus.
? Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 2:8-9

Divinely Designed Identity
We believe that God made you exactly who you should be. Every individual is
intentionally created in the image of God with unique gifts, a specific purpose, and
inherent worth. We celebrate the diverse talents and personalities God has woven into
each parent and child within our community.
? Scripture: Genesis 1:27; Psalm 139:13-14; Ephesians 2:10

The Calling of Parents
We believe that God equips parents to teach their children. God has given parents the
ultimate authority and responsibility for the education, discipleship, and spiritual
upbringing of their children. We believe that whom God calls, He also qualifies,
providing the wisdom, patience, and resources needed for the homeschool journey.
? Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Proverbs 22:6; Hebrews 13:20-21

Christlike Love for All
We believe in showing the love of Christ to everyone. As a community, we are called to
walk in unity, extending grace, kindness, and respect to all people. Our interactions are
guided by Christ’s command to love our neighbors, ensuring our support group remains
a safe, encouraging, and welcoming space for families.
? Scripture: John 13:34-35; Mark 12:31; Ephesians 4:2-3
