ABOUT OUR CO-OP

IMG_5345.jpg
WHO WE ARE

We are a group of homeschool families that have seen the incredible benefits and opportunities provided by speech and debate.  We strive to provide our students with the foundation to be able to communicate what they believe and why they believe. 

​

Why a speech and debate co-op? What is different about our co-op from others?

It's the conversations, it is the sharing and discussing of your world view with your child on a daily basis that this co-op instigates. It is HOMEschool. The purpose of this co-op is allow you to teach your child with a community of people that encourage them to research, ask, talk, discuss, and form their world view through discussions with you- their parent, their peers and their community. We want our students to form those views and ideas into speeches; into thoughtful and respectful debate; to express their knowledge and thought processes with the world.

​

We are a part of the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association. NCFCA is the oldest and most established home-school forensics league in the country. NCFCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing communications-based competitive activities, such as speech and debate, to home-schoolers. NCFCA places particular emphasis on excellence in academic and personal integrity as students learn to communicate more effectively.

Statement of Faith

This co-op as well as the NCFCA are non-denominational. 


Statement of Faith
Nicene Creed
We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and
invisible.  And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all
worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one
substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came
down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day
he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right
hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead;
whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the
Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the
prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism
for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to
come.
Amen.


Position Statements
For more than two thousand years, the Christian church has held almost exclusively accepted
viewpoints on the veracity and inerrancy of Scripture and on issues related to marriage and biblical
sexuality. Acknowledgement of what constitutes a “Christian worldview” based on these beliefs has
gone largely without dispute until the last decade. Current societal norms, both inside and outside the
church require us to resolutely agree with the NCFCA  and 
affirm what Scripture has to say about these two issues.

Scriptural Inerrancy
We believe that the Bible in its entirety “is breathed out by God” (2 Tim. 3:16), is inerrant in its
original autographs (Prov.30:5; 2 Pet. 1:20-21), and is “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for
correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for
every good work" (2 Tim. 3:17).


Marriage and Gender
In order to clearly indicate our position on an extensive list of issues related to marriage and
human sexuality, NCFCA’s Board of Directors has chosen to affirm the Nashville Statement. This
statement, based on Scripture, addresses issues including premarital, extramarital, and
homosexual relationships, gender alteration or identification, as well as physical disorders related
to gender.
