MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS
A. Membership is offered on a household basis to homeschool families.
We believe that God has ordained the family as the foundational
institution of human society. It is composed of persons related to
one another by marriage, blood, or adoption. Marriage is the uniting
of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.
B. Membership is available on two levels – Full and Honorary

year members will be asked to list the previous year's services on
the membership application.
