To be filled out by your Pastor or church Elder.

OUR MINISTRY: CREATE (Christians Responsibly Educating and Training in Excellence) is a cooperative of the Calvary Chapel Home Education Group in Central New Jersey. CREATE desires to come alongside homeschool families by providing courses in a Christ-like environment. Our vision would be that through the practical application of God’s Word and prayer, we would heed His instruction in loving, educating, and equipping our children to the fullest extent of their abilities. CREATE believes that God has given parents the primary responsibility to raise and educate their children.
