Over time, we hope to add a variety of classes so that our children can be exposed to many different areas.

Examples include speech, writing, foreign language, music, art, singing, chess, knitting, sewing, photography, science, crafts, geography, sea life, journalism, electricity, making comic books, circuits, aerobics, self-defense, nutrition, programming, cooking, etc. 3. We are in need of teachers and team leaders. Please pray and think about areas you can help. Below are some areas that we may be need of volunteers.

Please check any boxes below that you might be interested in volunteering, you are not committing by checking the box :). Someone will call you to discuss things further and answer your questions.

12. Do you agree with our Mission Statement, Statement of Faith, and Statement of Education? Please read thoroughly and check the box below.

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to build a Christ-centered co-op community, with a grace-filled culture, that equips, supports, and encourages homeschooling families and proclaims Christ’s leadership over all aspects of our lives. We desire to bring together homeschooling families who love God and want to share the knowledge of Jesus Christ with the next generation, by providing academic and enrichment classes, sports activities, and clubs from a Christian worldview, as well as opportunities for mentoring and friendships. Our teachers love God and communicate Biblical teaching and Christian values to our students.

STATEMENT OF FAITH

We believe that the Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God that speaks with final authority concerning truth, morality, and the proper conduct of mankind. For purposes of doctrine, practice, policy, and discipline, our governing board is Branches’ final interpretive authority on the Bible’s meaning and application.

We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe that God wonderfully and immutably creates each person to reflect His image as either male or female; but that each person is by nature a sinner, and alienated from God.

We believe that salvation and reconciliation come only from God, by grace; that God in love gave His only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sin, thereby purchasing the redemption of those who believe in Him.

We believe that marriage is prescribed by God as a sacred, covenant relationship between one man and one woman, symbolizing the union of Christ and His church, and all forms of sexual activity outside of marriage is sin.

We believe that every Christian, through the power of Jesus Christ, is called to live a life set apart that will bear fruit to the glory of God, and sinful behavior, or even advocacy of sinful behavior, dishonors God and should not be encouraged.

We believe that God loves every person and therefore we need to treat others with the compassion, love, kindness, and dignity that He shows us.

STATEMENT OF EDUCATION

We believe that it is the parents’ role and responsibility to educate their children individually on topics of a sensitive nature, including:

Political Views
Doctrinal Views
Sexuality Views
Dietary Views

Out of respect for each family’s decision on when and how to teach these matters to their children, all teachers, volunteers, parents, and students are discouraged from discussing these topics with other children at Branches unless in a clearly defined class. Yes I agree
No I do not agree
13. AFFIRMATION AGREEMENT

I hereby affirm that I have read the Branches Statements of Mission, Faith, and Education, the Guidelines and Standards, Code of Culture and Conflict Resolution and have discussed these items with my children. I certify that I consent to and will submit to all policies and standards of this group, and I acknowledge that violation of these terms will carry consequences that could include dismissal from Branches.

I understand that admission to Branches is a privilege, not a right, and admission for one year does not guarantee automatic admission for future years.
(1 required) I agree
