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.
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, several families annually enjoy meeting and encouraging one another on their home discipleship journey.
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 enrichment classes for Pre-K through grade 12, all taught by CHARIS parent volunteers and helpers.
CO OP registration has ended for the Fall 2021 Session. Registration for the Winter Session (Jan - Mar) will open later this fall.
Our co op is currently running our Fall semester on Wednesdays through December 8th in
Sugar Grove, IL.
Stay tuned for the January - March winter session registration in November.
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!
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.
To participate in CHARIS Co-op, CHARIS membership is required. You may become a member of CHARIS anytime and enjoy year-round benefits and connections within this friendly community.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange a visit to one of our co-op days or family events, feel free to contact us by email. We'd love to meet you!
