STATEMENT OF FAITH AND TERMS OF SERVICE

Welcome to H.E.A.R.T.S. (Home Educators Applying Righteous Teaching Standards) for the 2023 -2024 School year! H.E.A.R.T.S. is a Christ support group formed to provide support, fellowship and encouragement to new and seasoned families in the home education journey. To achieve these goals, the group meets to pray for and encourage one another, share methods, curriculum, ideas, and to plan group events, field trips and classes.

We are a group of Bible-believing Christians and our group and activities reflect christian values. We believe The Bible is the only Word of God. We believe Jesus died to atone for our sins and He rose on the third day.

Agreement and Respect for these statements is necessary to join our group.

All H.E.A.R.T.S. Homeschoolers memberships for 2023– 2024 will expire 7/31/24

H.E.A.R.T.S. is run by its members. There are no paid employees. Our group is only as active and vibrant as our member families make it. As such, the group has a number of jobs that require an active member’s involvement! All Volunteer Members commit and help with at least one volunteer activity for H.E.A.R.T.S. during the membership period. Please take a few moments to review this list and consider where God would have you to serve in H.E.A.R.T.S. this school year. We will help you as much as you need and will pair you with several other members in each area. Volunteers make up our entire leadership structure and coordinate all of H.E.A.R.T.S. activities so we appreciate as much involvement as you are able to offer.

1. We are to be in ONLY the rooms scheduled for use; if Children are present; stay in the designated areas at all times.
