We're a Christ-centered homeschool co-op built on grace, community, and a love for learning. Our heart is to follow God's lead as we raise, teach, and train our kids together. We offer enrichment and academic classes, fun activities, and a place to come together in fellowship and community with other homeschool families. 

STEADFAST HOMESCHOOL COMMUNITY

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3 

Mission Statement

We're a Christ-centered homeschool co-op built on grace, community, and a love for learning. Our heart is to follow God's lead as we raise, teach, and train our kids together. 

We believe that each child is created by God with unique gifts and purpose, and that learning happens best in a space filled with love, encouragement, and support. As families, we come together to share our time, talents, and resources, so no one walks this path alone.

Our goal is to build a community where Jesus is at the center, grace is freely given, and relationships matter. Rooted in faith and fellowship, we aim to cultivate a space where parents and students can grow together—academically, spiritually, and relationally.  

Statement of Faith 

We believe that the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God and is the final authority in all matters of truth, morality, and conduct. 

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe people are created either male or female, and are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character and purpose. We are designed then to be His representatives, pointing the rest of creation back to God. As such, people are the pinnacle of God’s creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, we are marred by an attitude that separates people from God and causes many problems in life.

We believe the salvation of mankind is wholly a work of God’s free grace, 

We believe that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, made possible through the atoning death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ, and received by faith alone. It is not the result of human works or goodness, and must be personally appropriated by repentance and faith. When God has begun a saving work in the heart of any person, He gives assurance in His Word that He will continue performing it until the day Jesus returns.

We believe that marriage is a sacred covenant instituted by God between one man and one woman, reflecting the union of Christ and His Church. Sexual activity is reserved for this covenant, and all other forms are outside of God’s design.

We believe that Christians are called to live holy and fruitful lives through the power of the Holy Spirit, and that sin, whether in practice or affirmation, dishonors God.

We believe that every person is deeply loved by God and should be treated with compassion, kindness, and dignity, reflecting the character of Christ in all our relationships.

GUIDELINES and STANDARDS 

Parent Expectations:

• Steadfast Homeschool Community is a true homeschool cooperative community.  All member families are expected to pitch in and use their gifts and talents in order for Steadfast to succeed. All members must sign up for volunteer jobs (job credits) to participate in Steadfast. Members must earn a minimum of six job credits.

• Steadfast is not a drop-off program.  Parents are expected to stay on campus during the class day. In rare circumstances and on a case-by-case basis, we will allow you to have another parent on campus be responsible for your child(ren) ONLY with prior approval from the leadership team. If your kids are dropped off without approval, you will be asked to come and pick up your child(ren). Children attending Minis (ages 6 years old or under) must always have a parent or family member on campus. 

• All volunteering adults (18+) must have successfully completed a background check through the company recommended by Steadfast, have read and agreed to abide by the Statements of Mission and Faith, the Guidelines and Standards, and the Conflict Resolution Policy.

• Assigned parent jobs must be covered at all times. If you are unable to serve in your assigned role, or you will be absent, you must let the Parent Jobs Coordinator know as soon as possible so she can assign a floater in your spot.

• If a parent is absent more than three times in a semester*, they must find their own replacement with an on-campus friend or family member who has successfully completed a Steadfast background check; has read and agreed to abide by the Statements of Mission and Faith, the Guidelines and Standards, and the Conflict Resolution Policy; and is approved to work at Steadfast. *As a cooperative community, we depend on consistent attendance and a solid commitment from our member families. We cannot properly function without it. We understand life circumstances happen and will do our best to work with you, but we do take our attendance policy seriously. It is imperative to fulfill your parent job requirements or you may not be able to attend Steadfast in the future.

• All floaters are needed each week. If you are a floater, please keep your phone handy and be ready to receive your job assignment at any time during the period you serve. The Parent Jobs Coordinator will text you if you are assigned to work. Please respond so she knows you received this message.  

• Teachers, teachers assistants, floaters, and all time-sensitive jobs  must show up, be on time, and remain in the classroom (or at assigned job) for the entire class period.

• It is the responsibility of the parents to know where their kids are at all times. This includes making sure your children are in their classes, on time, and at lunchtime, cleaning up after themselves.  

• Cell phones are not allowed to be used by parents for personal use during class time. 

• All fees must be paid by the due date. Failure to pay, or to make special payment arrangements by the due date will result in membership suspension. Members with a remaining balance will not be allowed to register for the next semester’s classes. 

Student Expectations:

• All students must agree to follow and abide by the Student Code of Conduct.

• Students must show up on time and remain in class for the entire class period. If a student needs to leave, they are required to get permission from the teacher before they do so. 

• Cell phones are not allowed to be used by students during class time (unless they are being used for the purpose of the class). 

• Steadfast does not have a formal dress code, however we ask that members use their best judgement and make sure all private areas are completely covered.

• Aggressive and/or disruptive behavior in class will not be tolerated. If you have a child that has issues with aggression/is disruptive, that child will need to have an aide to help them. The parent will be responsible for finding the aide.

• Disrespectful behavior to any member of the group, cheating, stealing, bullying, drug use, profanity, obscenity, sexual immorality, public displays of affection beyond hand holding, conduct contrary to one’s biological sex, dishonor to the Word of God, disrespect to the leadership of the group, or continued disobedience to the established standards of this group will not be tolerated and may result in a temporary or permanent dismissal from Steadfast.

• Steadfast is a nut-free campus.  

If a member family does not follow these guidelines and standards, they may be asked to withdraw from Steadfast Homeschool Community immediately or not allowed to return the next semester.
