HOME is a Christian Homeschool Support Group.
As a Christian Homeschool Support Group, not only in name and declaration, the foundation of our desire to help members educate is rooted in our love for Jesus Christ and a passion for His name and saving grace. HOME desires to create a community where every homeschool parent and child receives Christ’s comfort, support, wisdom, and counsel.
HOME was established in the Fall of 1995 by, a homeschooling mom who had moved to Colorado Springs from Littleton. She desired a group that provided discussion, fellowship, and support – where homeschooling parents and children could connect and build community. So, Cindy followed the Lord’s call and started HOME. For over two decades, HOME has served hundreds of Christian homeschooling families in and around the Colorado Springs area. HOME currently serves about 100 families.
OUR VISION
That our members embrace God-centered, parent-directed, home-based education for their children, free from government involvement.

HOME Statement of Faith
The Bible, in the Old and New Testaments, is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes His completed and final revelation to man. The Bible, in its original autograph, is without error in whole and in part, including theological concepts as well as scientific, geographical, and historical details. (2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Pet 1:21; Jn 17:17; Ps 119:160) God created the heavens and the earth and all living things as stated in Genesis 1 and 2, Colossians 1:16. This One God has existed from all eternity in three co-equal, co-eternal persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Isa 43:10; John 1:1-3; Col 1:16; Isa 44:24; Isa 61:1; Isa 48:16; Matt 3:16-17; Matt 28:19-20) Jesus Christ was God come in human flesh being fully God and fully man, born of a virgin and without sin. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man’s sin through His substitutionary death on the cross, the successful accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent visible bodily resurrection from the dead and future bodily return to earth. (Is 59:2; Rom 5:8; 1 Tim 2:5; 1 Pet 3:28; Jn 11:25-26; Heb 9:26-29; Is 53:4-5; Matt 24:29-30; 1 Cor 15:3-8; Matt 3:16-17; Jn 1:1-3; Jn 8:18-19; Jn 10:30; Php 2:5-8; Matt 28:19-20) All men are in violation of God’s righteous requirements and His holy character both by nature and act, and are therefore under His wrath and just condemnation. (Rom 3:23; Rom 6:23; 2 Thes 1:8-9) Salvation is offered as a gift, free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. (Jn 1:12; Jn 5:24; Jn 14:6; 1 Jn 5:11-12; 1 Cor 5:7; 1 Jn 2:2, Acts 4:12; Rom 4:1-4, Eph 2:8-10) The biblical model for marriage is the physical, spiritual, and legal union between one man and one woman. (Gen 2:23-24; Titus 1:6; Eph 5:24-25; 1 Pet 3:7) We believe that there are certain beliefs that are essential to the Christian faith. We also believe that there are other issues which are considered to be peripheral, rather than central, to faith in Jesus, along with many differing expressions of how that faith is worked out in the Body of Christ. In the interest of Christian unity and biblical charity we believe that these non-essential doctrines and practices should be treated with liberty and grace, and that we should not attempt to unduly offend nor pass judgment on our brothers and sisters in Christ concerning such matters. (Rom 14:13-15; Matt 22:36-40; Gal 5:22-26)
HOME Statement of Homeschooling
This article serves as HOME’s position on homeschooling. It is NOT intended to be, nor should it be used for an interpretation of the Colorado Homeschool Law as stated in CO Revised Statute 22-33-104.5, to include any future amendments. We believe… 1 Parents have the biblical responsibility of raising their children in the “fear and instruction of the Lord.” (Eph 6:4; Deut 6:6-7) 2 That as believers in Jesus Christ, Christian parents have the responsibility of providing a Christian life and worldview to their children. 3 Parents have the legal right to direct and control the education of their children. 4 That it is the responsibility of parents to understand the Colorado Law concerning homeschooling pursuant to the Colorado Revised Statute 22-33-104.5. 5 That full-time enrollment in any publicly-funded online school (e.g., Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA), Colorado Calvert Academy, College Pathways, Falcon Virtual Academy) is not homeschooling. 6 That full-time enrollment in any publicly-funded charter school (e.g., TCA, RMCA, James Erwin, Thomas MacLaren, Cheyenne Mountain Classical Academy) is not homeschooling. 7 That a legally homeschooled child can have his/her education supplemented with publicly-funded programs. 8 We stand on the conviction that educating our children is our God-given privilege and our God-given duty. We strongly encourage parents to diligently seek the Lord and to search the Scriptures about educating their children.
