TIDEWATER EDUCATORS ASSOCIATION FOR CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOLING
T.E.A.C.H. programs and events are coordinated by volunteers.
T.E.A.C.H. conducts senior graduation and a junior/senior prom each year. These events provide homeschooled students the opportunity to attend milestone events that they would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate in.
T.E.A.C.H. offers sports programs for children three years of age through senior year in high school. Our Junior Athletics program is geared toward recreational learning and our Beach Breakers program is a competitive middle school and high school sports program. The purpose of the sports program is to aid homeschooled athletes to grow in physical ability and moral character, to learn to work with a team, and compete with other private schools and homeschool organizations in the area.
T.E.A.C.H. STATEMENT OF FAITH
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21; II Corinthians 2:13; Matthew 4:4; II Peter 1:21)
2. We believe that there is one God. He is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These 3 are co-equal and are one God. (Deuteronomy 6:4, 32:39; Isaiah 48:16; I Kings 8:60; Matthew 28:18-20; John 15:26; Revelations 1:8)
3. We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the Church and in His personal return in power and glory as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. (Luke 2:52; John 20:31; Philippians 2:5-11; Matthew 16: 16-17; Matthew 1:23; I Peter 2:21-22; Matthew 28: 6;I Peter 1:18-21; Matthew 16:19; Ephesians 5:23; Acts 1:9-11; I John 2:2; Revelations 1:8; Revelations 1:17-18,19:15-16)
4. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful men regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential. It is God’s free gift but we must accept it. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works, it is maintained by the grace and power of God. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:23-29)
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily. (I Corinthians 6:19; John 14:16-17; I Corinthians 12:7-11; John 16:12-15)
6. We believe that all those who die in God’s grace through faith are assured eternal salvation; those who die in a state of sin and unbelief suffer the punishment of Hell. To be eternally in union with God is eternal life. To be separated from Him is Hell. (Daniel 12:2; John 11:25; I John 5:11-13; John 5:24; Romans 5:12-21, 6:23, 8:10-11; I Corinthians 15:56)
7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, and class differences. (Galatians 3: 26-29)
8. We believe that marriage is the joining of one man and one woman (sex as determined at birth) in a single, exclusive union, authored and sanctioned by God. (Genesis 2:22-24; Matthew 19:4-5; Ephesians 5:25-32;I Corinthians 7:1-4; Leviticus 18:22)
