What is G.I.F.T.?
G.I.F.T. is a Christian co-op enrichment program that offers fine arts classes and music lessons to homeschoolers of all ages (pre-school through adult). Our mission is to come alongside homeschooling families, supporting the education they already provide, with a variety of enrichment classes. We consist of moms, dads, grandparents and educators who come together using our gifts and talents with a desire to serve our homeschool community.
G.I.F.T. meets on Thursdays for 24 weeks from September - April. Classes are offered from 8:30a.m. until 3:00p.m. Families have the freedom to set their own schedule and determine the length of their day at G.I.F.T.
A parent/guardian is required to be on site with children at all times. However, you and your student are free to come and go throughout the day.
Parental involvement is foundational to the success of G.I.F.T. and is one of the requirements to join the co-op.
G.I.F.T. is managed by a volunteer board. All board members sign a Statement of Faith. Board positions require a passing vote of confidence by the current board members. There is no compensation for services.
Statement of Faith:
Our Statement of Faith includes only those truths upon which all true Christians agree. It concerns the Person and Work of Jesus Christ (the Gospel) as revealed in Scripture. It is the faith once delivered to the saints (Jude 3, Eph 4:5) which distinguishes believers from non-believers. There are many other precious truths taught in the Bible over which godly men have differed in understanding. Therefore, this is not a statement of all that is important to believe, but of all that is essential to believe for Christian fellowship and unity (Rom. 15:7). This article many only be amended by unanimous vote of all Directors.
