About Us

image161

Our purpose

The purpose of CHARIS Homeschool Support Group in Sugar Grove is to provide support for Christian parents who are teaching their children at home, to provide opportunities for homeschoolers to interact through social activities and learning experiences including the weekly co-op, and to glorify God by encouraging biblical home discipleship and training up the next generation to serve Jesus Christ


image162

Our history

We are an organization founded in 1986 (formerly Kane County Christian Home Schoolers) formed by a small group of families desiring to provide their children with a Christian education in a loving family environment. Over 30 years later, over 80 families annually enjoy meeting and encouraging one another on their home discipleship journey.

Our statement of faith

The Bible is the inspired and infallible Word of God and constitutes complete and final revelation. The Bible, in its original autograph, is without error in whole and in part: including theological concepts as well as geographical and historical details. God has existed from all eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ was God in human flesh being fully God and fully man except without sin. All men are in violation of God's righteous requirements and His Holy character both by nature and act; and are therefore under His wrath and just condemnation. The central purpose of the coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the penalty for man's sin through His substitutionary death on the cross--the successful accomplishment of which was attested to by His subsequent visible, bodily resurrection. Salvation is a free gift; free to the sinner. This gift must be responded to in an individual faith, not trusting in any personal works whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.  Marriage is ordained by God, is between one man and one woman as set forth in the Bible, and is intended to be a picture of Jesus Christ and the Church.

What is CHARIS Co-op

image165

Our Co-op started in recent years with a small group of homeschool moms who wanted to share learning enrichment opportunities with other families. Thanks to the creativity and passion of many homeschool families, there's an exciting mix of fun and educational classes for Pre-K through grade 12, all taught by CHARIS parent volunteers and helpers.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our co-op will not meet at Village Bible Church this fall. 


Instead, CHARIS members are encouraged to invite other members to join in on what they are teaching their own kids, and make small "classes." Members can use the CHARIS Facebook group to share these "homegrown" group learning opportunities, or the updates email.

Who

What is CHARIS Co-op

Who

image167

CHARIS is a family-friendly group welcoming all ages, including babies. Classes are available for Pre-K through 12th grade. Little ones can play in the supervised nursery or stay close to mom or dad. This is not a drop-off co-op. Since we are volunteer run, parents stay to help and are given a wide variety of volunteer choices, from teaching to assisting or working behind the scenes. Many hands make light work, so the load is not overwhelming. And the regular fellowship with one another is a blessing!


Why

Visit

Who

image168

Homeschool families love the opportunities to connect with one another, and the co-op is a great way to do that on a regular basis. The academic enrichment classes and fun activities that members come up with are a great benefit to students, and the social connections are the frosting on the cake.
