Mission Statement

"It is the goal of our organization to honor our Lord Jesus Christ in all of our activities and to encourage Christian home educating families to home school in a manner that honors God."

      Doctrinal Statement

A.     We believe the Bible is inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that a believer may be thoroughly prepared for every good work.

B.     We believe that there is one God eternally existent in 3 persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
C.     We believe in Jesus Christ as God come in human flesh fully God and fully man except without sin. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles testifying to his deity. He dies on the cross for our sins and rose again the third day. He ascended into heaven where he sits at the right hand of God the Father and acts as our great high priest interceding for us and preparing a place for us. We believe in his personal return.
D.     We believe that all men have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and that salvation is a free gift offered to sinners. An individual is saved when they turn from their sin and turn to God in faith for salvation. The gift must be received by faith, trusting solely in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, not trusting in any personal works to merit salvation.
E.      We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, who convicts men of sin, and regenerates and indwells those who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
F.      We believe the Bible teaches us that our lives should be transformed as we follow Christ and our conduct will reflect the fact that God is conforming us to the image of His dear Son.
G.     We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.
H.     We believe that our home school association should reflect and defend these beliefs in all of its activities.

 

Sioux Empire Christian Home Educators

Serving homeschooling families in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area and surrounding communities.

 SECHE was initiated at a meeting of like-minded home educators in March of 2002.  These families desired to form a group where their belief and acknowledgment of God was an integral part of their homeschool organization.  As a result, SECHE was officially started in August of 2002.  It is the goal of our organization to honor our Lord Jesus Christ in all of our activities and to encourage families to homeschool in a manner that honors God.

 SECHE offers a variety of opportunities to enjoy Christian homeschooling fellowship and encouragement.  We sponsor an annual conference in the spring.  Other activities can be viewed by clicking on our events calendar.

SECHE is an official member of the Home School Legal Defense Association and members receive a discount to HSLDA.

                                              SECHE Membership Plan

 We have started a new system for SECHE to operate under. We want a group that has many more things to offer, is organized, and has a vital "family" type fellowship that will help us all with our duties as parents accountable before God.  This will take help from everyone in the group, just as how our own immediate families must operate.  We want to improve the group in these areas:  leadership organization, website, activities, methods of encouragement of members/families, unity, and fellowship among the members. This is a big project and much more time and thought will be going into the process. When you fill out the attachment form, understand that all the volunteer/benefit areas listed will become small groups/committees that will plan together and also work with the board as committees and subcommittees.  This will keep a unity and organized element to it all.

 “It takes everyone’s work in a ‘family’ to make it successful.”
