Step 3: A visit to the co-op is required for you and your children in order to join the co-op. Mom will be able to meet with a board member while children attend a class.
Step 4: At this point, the co-op board will spend time in prayer, as will you, and then a decision on both sides will be made as to whether Bright Co-op and your family are a good match.
ABOUT OUR CO-OP:
Bright Co-op is a Bible-based Christian homeschooling group founded on Christian core values. Therefore, we teach from a Biblical worldview using predominantly Christian curriculum. We recognize that there are doctrinal differences throughout the denominations represented in the Christian community. Although these differences exist, we believe there are certain truths that all Christians uphold and can therefore let us walk in unity as believers. Bright Co-op believes in the power of prayer and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. For this reason, membership to Bright is contingent not only on an agreement with our Statement of Faith and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ but upon the outcome of prayer.
OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH:
We hold to the following statement of faith:
The sole basis for our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally existing in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit – each possessing all the attributes of Deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by sinfully going their own way. As a result, we need God’s saving grace to end our alienation from Him. Salvation comes only through God’s saving grace – not human effort – and must be received personally by repentance and faith.
Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on earth and voluntarily paid for our sins by dying on the cross as our substitute. This accomplishes salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in Him alone. He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between God and us. He will return to earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for personal growth and service to the church. The church’s role is to glorify God and serve those in need. In the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the judgment. Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.
We believe that marriage is between one man and one woman and anything outside that is contrary to the Word of God (Romans 1:18-32, Matt 19:4-5).
As a private group, Bright Co-op has the right to deny membership at its sole discretion and for any reason .
