Additional Questions

1. You must read and agree to the following Statement of Faith to be granted membership.

We believe the Bible in its original autograph to be the infallible Word of God, the supreme and final authority for all faith and life.

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

We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension and His return in power and glory.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but fell into sin and is therefore spiritually dead and at enmity with God.

We believe that salvation is the gift of God brought to man and requires belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on the cross paying the penalty for man’s sin.

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to convict men, grant repentance and faith, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service.

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers through our common faith in Jesus Christ and that lesser doctrinal differences which may exist should not hinder the cooperation of Christian home educators. We Agree
We Disagree
2. ECIHEN exists because each member agrees to foster relationships, provide support, and assist each other.

As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, we want to be sure that you realize ECIHEN is a collective effort. Ephesians 4:16 (NLT) reminds us, "Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love."

We are all in different seasons of life and have different God-given gifts and abilities, not to mention different interests, goals, health levels, and finances. You are part of ECIHEN because your gifts and talents are a necessary part of this body of believers at this season in your life.

Please share with us what your family is going to share with the group? Choose at least one option. This is not an exhaustive list. (1 required) Field Trips
