About G.I.F.T.

G.I.F.T. is a Christian homeschool co-op offering enrichment classes in fine arts, academics, and music for students of all ages, from preschool through adulthood. Our mission is to support homeschooling families by providing classes that complement the education already taking place at home.

Our community is made up of parents, grandparents, and educators who come together to use their gifts and talents to serve and support homeschool families.

G.I.F.T. meets on Thursdays for 24 weeks, from September through April, with classes scheduled between 8:30am and 3:00pm. Families have the flexibility to build a schedule that best fits their needs.

Parent involvement: A parent or guardian must remain on-site with their children throughout the day, though families are welcome to come and go as needed. Parental involvement is an essential part of G.I.F.T. and a required commitment for all co-op members.

Leadership: G.I.F.T. is managed by a volunteer board. Board members sign a Statement of Faith, must receive a passing vote of confidence from the current board, and serve without compensation.

Our Statement of Faith includes those truths upon which all true Christians agree.

I believe in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ (the Gospel) as revealed in Scripture.

I believe in the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3, Eph. 4:5), which distinguishes believers from nonbelievers.

I believe that the Holy Spirit dwells within us, guides, instructs, and empowers us as believers for godly living and service.

I believe the direction to “accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God” (Romans 15:7).

I believe in the spiritual unity of believers through the above beliefs and faith in Jesus Christ. Other individual doctrinal differences that may exist should not hinder this unity.

This statement is not a statement of all that is important to believe, but of all that is essential to believe for Christian fellowship and unity.
