We are living at an unprecedented time in history, one of great turmoil and even greater God-opportunities. Whether by choice or by necessity, many families are educating their children at home.
If you are longing to equip your children for a life of walking with God and need the resources to do so, we invite you to join us as we facilitate encounters with God and build a kingdom identity rooted in His word.
Our teachers will be walking with your family throughout the school year leading the weekly cohort meetings and providing support as you go through the interactive online curriculum.
We offer two curriculum options. The first spans over four days a week and dives into biblical engagement and spiritual practices for connecting with God and each other. For busier families we offer a second option that streamlines the curriculum into a once-per-week family encounter time.
Two days a week you will be given a detailed curriculum devoted to you and your children interacting with the Kingdom story of God’s people through creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.
Creative, hands-on activities will bring the biblical narrative to life. Students will be invited to find their place in God’s story: in their own family, in the Bible, and in the story of the church both past and present.
Two days a week you will be given a detailed curriculum that facilitates an interactive encounter with God using creative spiritual practices including: quiet, prayer, Scripture engagement, worship/adoration, gratitude, generosity, supernatural ministry, cultural engagement, and justice. Menus with different options for how to engage with these practices will allow for choice, creativity, and age differences.
Once a week, we will meet in small groups that we call cohorts. This will be a time for building community as a cohort and encountering God together.
The curriculum is geared toward children in grades K-8. Younger siblings are welcome to participate, but they will need to be able to sit with their parents and not distract from the group activities.
The in-person cohort meets on Friday mornings, and the online cohort meets on Tuesday afternoons.
You'll have access to the Encounter Family Discipleship curriculum on a password-protected website. You can choose from curriculum options to do throughout the week or just once a week.
Students enrolled in Encounter Family Discipleship can take dance classes. If there is space on sports teams and drama casts, they may also participate. Families are welcome to come to our K-3 chapels one time per month.
