Welcome!

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate." ~ Psalm 127:3-5

Raising Arrows Christian Co-op is a parent-led homeschool fellowship that offers educational classes, community, and encouragement as we “raise arrows” for the kingdom of God. Our goal is to honor God in everything we do, which includes raising our children in a manner that reflects our trust and hope in Him and equipping them to be salt and light in whatever capacity God sets before them.

We started with a core group of families in Aug. 2022 who wanted to create a co-op their whole family could attend on the same day. We nearly doubled in size for the 2023-2024 school year and are excited to see how the Lord will lead us in the future to maintain or grow from here!

For many homeschool families, their co-op provides not only educational instruction and enrichment for the children, but also a forum where both parents and children meet and develop deep, long-lasting friendships and find much-needed encouragement and support for their homeschool journey, for life in general, and for their spiritual growth.

As such, this co-op has an upfront application process to join. We welcome families who are committed Christians with a conservative Christian worldview (pro-life, pro-Biblical marriage, etc.) to apply. (See our Statement of Faith and Code of Conduct for more details.) We may offer outings that are open to the general homeschooling community, but the co-op itself is a group of like-minded (or "Christ-minded") families.

Please do not let our application process deter you if you are interested in joining. Like a marriage, you want to vet your future spouse and make sure you are "equally yoked." Our upfront application process helps us create a beautiful co-op community of like-minded families!
