What We Believe

What We Believe
Philosophy of the Foundations Homeschool Co-op Ministry
- We are a network of families united in our love for Christ and our calling to home educate our children.
- We are not a Church, however we are a ministry. We cannot replace the function of a local church body.
- We are comprised of families from various denominations and backgrounds. We focus on common views rather than differences.
- We believe the Bible is the only inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:21).
- We believe in the Trinity. There has existed in all eternity three co-equal Persons; God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. There are no other Persons in the Holy Trinity. (Deut. 6:4; 2 Cor. 13:14; John 1:1-2,14)
- We believe that every person is in violation of God’s righteous requirements and His holy character by nature and in act. (Rom. 3:23, 5:12; Eph. 2:1-3) Salvation is given as a gift, free to every sinner. This gift must be responded to by faith, not by works. Only in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone is sanctification made. (Acts 13:38-39; Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8-9)
- We are not a School. Co-op is designed to enhance rather than replace a family’s home education program.
- We do not judge differing philosophies of education, curriculum, support mechanisms, etc. held by individual families. We entrust these decisions to each family, providing support and guidance when requested.
