Statement of Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, and inerrant word of God, the supreme and final authority for all faith and life (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:20-21; Ps. 19:7-11; Prov. 30:5-6; Jer. 23:29; Heb. 4:12; Matt. 5:18; John 17:17).

We believe there is one God, creator of all things, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (same in substance, equal in power and glory) (Deut. 6:4; I Cor. 8:4-6; Acts 17:24-29; Gen. 1:1; Col. 1:15-20; John 1:1-3; Rom. 9:5; Titus 2:13; I John 5:20; Isa. 9:6; Ps. 45:6; Isa. 48:16; Acts5:3-4; Heb. 9:14; I Cor. 2:11-16).

We believe in the deity and humanity 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 imminent bodily return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead (Isa. 9:6; Gal. 4:4; John 17:5; Heb. 10:5; Isa. 7:14; Luke 1:34-35; Heb. 7:26; John 14:11; I Pet. 2:24; 3:18; 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb.9:22; I Cor. 15; Acts 1:9-11; Rev. 19:11-21; 20:11-15).

We believe man was created good in the image of God but fell into sin, and is therefore totally depraved, and needs to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit for salvation (Gen. 1:31; Eccles. 7:29; Gen. 1:26-28; Gen. 3; Rom. 5:12; Ps. 51:5; Gen. 8:21; Eph. 2:1-4; Rom. 3:10-18; Rom. 8:7-8; I Cor. 2:14; Jer. 13:23; John 6:44,63,65; John 1:12-13; John 3:3-8; Titus 3:3-5; Acts 16:14; Ezek. 11:19; 36:25-27).

We believe that salvation is a gift of God given to man by grace alone through faith alone in the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ alone (Jon. 2:9; Eph. 2:8-10; Phil. 1:29; Acts 5:31, 11:17-18; 2 Tim. 2:25; Rom. 3:21-28; Rom. 4:5; Phil. 3:9; 2 Cor. 5:21; Isa. 53:4-6; Heb. 9:28; John 14:6; Acts 4:12).

We believe that the ministry of the Holy Spirit is to regenerate, seal, indwell, teach, convict, and empower the believer for Godly living and service (John 1:13; John 3:3-8; Titus 3:3-5; Eph. 1:13-14, 4:30; Rom. 8:9; John 14:16-18; 14:26; 16:13; 16:8; Rom. 8:13; 2 Tim. 1:7; Zech. 4:6; Col. 1:29).

We believe Christ, the Head of the Church, has commanded the Body of Christ to make disciples of all nations. The universal visible Church will extend to all the people groups of the world; therefore all peoples are of equal importance in the Body of Christ (Col. 1:18; I Tim. 3:15; Eph. 2:14-20; 4:4-6; Rev. 5:9; 7:9; Matt. 24:14; Rom. 12:3-8; I Cor. 12: 4-26; Gal. 3:28; Matt. 28:18-20; Acts 20:27; Titus 2:2).

We believe that Christian parents have the privilege and responsibility to raise their covenant children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Gen. 18:19; Ex. 12:24-27; Deut. 4:9-10; 6:7-9; 8:5; 11:18-21; Josh. 24:15; I Sam. 3:13; I Chron. 22:6-16; Ps. 44:1; Ps. 71:18; Ps. 78:1-8; Ps. 145:4; Prov. 3:12; 4:1-4; 13:24; 19:18; 22:6; 22:15; 23:13- 14; 29:15,17; Isa. 38:19; Mal. 4:6; Eph. 6:4; Col. 3:21; 2 Tim. 3:15).

We affirm the biblical model for marriage as one man and one woman, as declared by Jesus in Matthew 19: 5-6. We also affirm that God has created man for His glory in His image, male and female only. (Mtt. 19: 4-6; Gen. 2:24; Mk 10: 6-8; Gen. 1: 27; Isa. 43: 7; Heb. 13: 4).

In order to preserve the function and integrity of the Co-op in its mission and to provide a Biblical role model to its members, the Church, the community, and society at large, it is imperative all Co-op members should abide by the aforementioned Statement of Faith and conduct themselves accordingly.

Non-Denominational Position

GHW honors all expressions of God’s kingdom here on earth, especially where it relates to His church. We desire to remain in unity in the salvation and love of Christ, avoiding unnecessary conflict that could be caused by denominational differences. This ministry’s statement of faith contains those doctrines that we unreservedly adhere to and teach. It is our desire to maintain this position and honor all families involved in GHW. There shall be no attempt made by parents, children, volunteers, or board members to promote or disparage doctrinal or denominational beliefs, practices, or positions regarding issues upon which this ministry has stated no official stance. This does not mean that we cannot have conversations about these differences, but in these conversations, please respect each other’s positions.

GHW's Statement of Faith is always viewable on the top menu bar of the homepage.

2. MISSION

The mission of the God’s Homeschool Warriors Co-op (GHW) is to partner with families to:

Provide a Co-op program by working together to educate their homeschool children in a safe, loving, and caring environment; GHW comes alongside of the families to provide quality classes. We strive to have a group of like-minded families coming together to share their gifts and talents for the training and educating of our children
Provide a Co-op program that has a Christ-centered environment
Provide a Co-op program that has organizational and administrative checks and balances
Provide a Co-op program that has transparent financial processes with appropriate checks and balances
Provide a Co-op program that is a not-for-profit program.

VISION

The vision of GHW is to exist as a community of believers who share Christ’s love while coming together to educate their children in a loving and caring environment.

PURPOSE

GHW was specifically founded to create a Christian, loving, caring learning environment for homeschool families. We do not exist to please the world, but rather to satisfy our God- given mandate to educate our children how we see fit. GHW is a Co-op, not a school. This purpose is accomplished by all the members working together and the Co-op supporting them with their calling to home educate. By working together everyone benefits.

3. General Procedures:

Here are some important Procedures for GHW. A complete list can be found in the GHW Handbook. By checking the box below, you are agreeing to follow these procedures.

Communication: GHW communicates primarily via email. Families are strongly encouraged to have a current email address that is checked at least once a week. A weekly email with important annoucments will go out on Tuesdays around 12:00pm. GHW also communicates via family folders. Family folders are located in the coordinator room and should be checked each week for correspondence. This is a good place to keep your name tag, since you will be required to wear it at all times.

Absences: Please CALL or TEXT the Academic Coordinator as soon as you know that you will be absent so that your position will be covered. Please do not rely on Facebook to notify the Coordinators. Your attendance and punctuality are crucial because we depend on one another for a successful year. Absences can result in delayed registration and enrollment for the following co-op year.

Course Changes: Any course changes must go through the Academic Coordinator. To limit classroom disruptions, please limit class changes to September.


Unsupervised Students: Children must be in their classrooms or accompanied by their parent, legal guardian, or approved adult at all times.


Visitor Policy: Families are always welcome to visit GHW at any time to meet with the coordinators and tour the building. If visitors wish to visit classes, they must schedule it at least one week in advance.


Leaving the Campus: The co-op is designed with the understanding that parents stay on the premises with their children. If you choose to step out briefly, for up to one hour, you need to sign yourself out and designate another parent to be responsible for any of your children who remain at co-op. No student is allowed to leave the premises at any time during the school day without written permission from a parent to a Coordinator. Parents must sign the child out.  We want to know where everyone is for safety.

Sick Policy: No child should ever be brought to co-op while ill. If your child has a clear runny nose and isn’t otherwise sick, feel free to bring him or her to the co-op. Your child should be without fever, diarrhea, and vomiting for at least 24 hours before coming to co-op. Parents should follow these same guidelines.

Should your child become ill during the school day we will make every effort to assist him/her. However, you will be required to leave with your child if administration feels it is appropriate or observes the following:

Fever of 100 degrees of higher
Vomiting or diarrhea
Runny nose (other than clear drainage caused by allergies)
Rash of unknown origin
Head lice or nits
Pink, teary, itchy, stinging or burning eye(s)
General illness or excessive fatigue which makes it difficult for the child to participate in classroom activities.

Electronics: We understand that personal electronic devices have become an important part of daily life for most people. However, we feel it is important to protect our children from inappropriate content that is so easily available on these devices. For this reason, we do not allow students to use personal electronic devices during the co-op day. Any adult who observes a student using a personal electronic device without leadership approval is instructed to confiscate the device and return it to the student’s parent as soon as possible. Teachers are welcome to utilize electronics for educational purposes in their classroom if they desire. However, in order to minimize distractions, we ask that all adults, aides, and teachers refrain from using personal electronics for any other purpose during class time.

Weapons: No child shall be in possession of a weapon (firearm, pocket knife, multi-tool, pepper spray, etc.) while in attendance at Co-op or its functions. If a child is observed to be in possession of a weapon, it will be confiscated and returned to the parent, and the incident will be immediately brought to the attention of the child’s parent and Co-op leadership.

Character and Expectations: At GHW, we believe that a quality education can only be provided in an atmosphere of faith, respect, and responsibility. Thus, all parents and children are expected to:

1. Respect the Mission and Purpose of GHW
2. Respect teachers, parents, and other children
3. Respect the GHW campus and the property of others
4. Be honest and truthful in word and deed
5. Use appropriate oral,written,and body language
6. Obey the civil laws and GHW policies pertaining to drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and weapons
7. Avoid engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior or talk(absolutely no discussions regarding sex, sexuality, gender identity, etc).
8. Honor the dress code policy
9. Be punctual to class/Co-op

All of the above can be referenced in the GHW Handbook, accessible on home page after logging in.
