Who We Are

 

PURPOSE

 

GRHE exists to support and encourage those who are home educating and to act as a source of information to those considering educating their children at home.  GRHE is a Christian organization and we seek to bring glory to God in all that we do.  All those in leadership have agreed with the GRHE Statement of Faith as set forth in the constitution of GRHE, and any activity sponsored or promoted by GRHE must be consistent with this statement of faith and with Biblical principals of Christian living.  Membership is open to those who do not share these beliefs and no pressure will be put on anyone to accept them.  A copy of the constitution is available to anyone upon request.

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH

There is one God who exists eternally in three Persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit; and who created and maintains the world and all things in it including man.

The Holy Bible is the only divinely inspired written revelation of God’s dealings with and will for man.  It is God’s Word in its entirety; it is complete; and it is without error in all matters of fact and doctrine.

God created man in a state of fellowship with Him.  But man, through disobedience, fell from this state and became sinful by nature and deed, for which he stands condemned.

To redeem men from their fallen state and the penalty of their sins, God the Son, through the Virgin Birth, became incarnate as the man Jesus of Nazareth who was fully human and fully God.  He lived a sinless life, this life being given on the cross in substitution for man’s sin.  Upon completion of this substitutionary death, He was resurrected and dwells in Heaven today.

Man cannot save himself from his fallen state, but his salvation from this state into eternal presence with God is available to him if he accepts by faith the birth, the substitutionary death, the resurrection, and the deity of Christ.
