Our foundation
Statement of Faith
DeKalb Christian Home Educators is built on a Christ-centered mission to support the entire homeschooling family.
Our purpose
Why we exist
Our purpose is to provide Christ-centered support to the entire homeschooling family. To this end, we endeavor to:
- Gather for mutual support and encouragement
- Share our resources, skills, experience, questions, and problems
- Discover opportunities for ministry and community service
- Provide opportunities for teacher training and extracurricular activities
- Present a unified voice in the legal and political arenas
No one method or curriculum is right for everyone. We believe that relationships are key to a quality education. We are not here to tell you how or what to teach your children. As we share our personal experiences, our struggles, and our victories, we learn from each other. Then, we as parents can work out our own solutions in prayer, with the Holy Spirit as our guide into all truth.
What we believe
Statement of Faith
The Word of God
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and that it has supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
2 Timothy 3:16–17The Trinity
We believe that there is one living and true God: one divine being existing in three persons — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18–20Jesus Christ
We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, and the Word made flesh: fully God and fully man. We believe in His substitutionary atoning death, bodily resurrection, and ascension into heaven, perpetual intercession for His people, and His Second Coming.
John 3:16Man
We believe man was created in the image of God. As a result of the fall, all men are sinners by nature and by choice and are, therefore, in need of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Genesis 1:27 · Romans 3:23Christian Conduct
We believe that a Christian should live for the glory of God and the well-being of his fellow men and that he should strive to realize for himself and others the full stature of maturity in Christ. This is best accomplished by active participation and fellowship with a local body of believers.
John 13:14–15 · John 13:34–35Marriage
We believe that marriage is defined as a union between one man and one woman.
Mark 10:6–9 · Matthew 19:4–6
