Member Benefits

Heart and Home Nights

A time of fellowship, prayer and learning, FCTH moms meet monthly to share encouragement, food, devotionals and prayer.

This year, we will be identifying character-training issues, strengthening spiritual development, and  clarifying life goals as we explore, The Well-Trained Heart, by Ray and Donna Reish.  "You will be challenged to discover a biblical vision and godly principles for training the hearts of your children."

Meetings are held from  6pm-8:30pm on either the second Monday or Thursday of each month.  Watch the Group Events listings and e-mails for locations and details.

  • Adopting a sea turtle nest
  • Dissecting owl pellets with an Audubon speaker

Christian Co-op

Our Co-op ministry offers support for parents and a fun learning opportunity for our children.  From foreign languages to science labs,  our dedicated parents gather once a week, to share their talents and skills in a classroom setting.  All texts are carefully screened and  help to promote a Biblical World View.  Guest speakers, field trips, and labs are also a part of our Co-op. 

The co-op runs during both the Fall and Spring semesters.  Offering a variety of classes for children 3 years of age to 12th grade (nursery care is provided for children under the age of 3).  Slots are limited and available to FCTH members only. For each family enrolled, 1 adult is expected to serve in a pre-assigned  area of the co-op.  This is not a drop-off event.

Co-op openings,  calendar, class descriptions, and applications are sent out to the group, through email, before the beginning of each new semester

Contact:  Co-op Ministry

Co-op Registration for January 2010 semester is  full.  Waitlist additions will be accepted until  January 15.  Details will be posted via e-mail if any positions become available.  For more information on co-op procedures, please see:  Co-op Spotlight


 

Graduation/Promotion Night

In May, we celebrate the achievements of our children as they pass into the next grade (for students in grades K-11th), and we graduate our seniors.

Students are recognized and receive a certificate of achievement and our graduates (seniors) enjoy a time set aside for them to highlight their talents and  share just a glimpse of the journey that the Lord has led them on.

Parents of the graduates present their child with his/her diploma and "graduate" them with prayers, words of wisdom, and a call to service.  This is followed by a time of fellowship.


 


 

Teen Activities

Our teen ministry co-coordinators are dedicated to planning teen events for growth, fun, and direction, throughout the year.  Past activities have included:

  • Serving a meal at the Rescue Mission

  • Bonfire, devotional, and  cook out

  • Swimming and game night

  • Bowling and Pizza night

This is a great way for teens to fellowship together.  They spend supervised, structured time getting to know one another.

Forum Community

Our on-line forums  began as a way to pass information, buy and sell curricula,  and post general announcements to our many members. (Without overwhelming their in-boxes!)

In a short time, it has turned into a  community of like-minded families asking for prayer, sharing advice, and more.  The Forums require registration, and are open to FCTH members only.  

Family Events

We try to schedule several family events throughout the year. This is a great opportunity for families to get to know each other better, the dad's to be involved with their children's friends, and to develop lasting friendships within our group. 

It is our goal to create an atmosphere that encourages all of our families and to provide a  sense of community and support.

Some past activities include,  meeting at a farm for a bonfire and  camping at Herbert Watts.

 

Conferences, Speakers,

 and Seminars

Each year, we strive to plan  conferences, guest speakers, workshops, and seminars to encourage, inform, and support our Members and families.
Some of our past events include:

  • Civil War re-enactments
  • FPEA speaker, Ron McCurdy
  • Charlotte Mason workshop
  • Homeschooling through High School workshop
  • New Homeschoolers' information night
