Now when Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him. And He opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the [c]gentle, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."
Matthew 5:1-12 (NASB)
Get to know us...
CHESS is a ministry designed to meet the educational, spiritual, social, and academic needs of homeschooling families in the Central Texas Area.
We are a group of approximately 125 families who have chosen to homeschool our children for a variety of reasons. Our members come from within an approximate 50-mile radius of the Fort Cavazos (formerly Fort Hood) Army Installation.
This includes areas such as Killeen, Fort Cavazos, Harker Heights, Gatesville, Kempner, Lampasas, and Copperas Cove, and more.
Our membership is culturally diverse, representing the presence of the local and military community. We provide support to each other in the form of educational, recreational, and informational activities.
We strive to provide co-op classes on Fridays for 8-10 weeks each semester in the Fall & Spring, and depending on teaching availability, Tuesday afternoons as well. We also strive to offer parent's nights once a month, two field trips per semester, prom & graduation once a year in addition to other activities.
