Doctrinal Statement

We affirm the Nicene Creed of 381 A.D.
​
We Believe that:
  • Because God’s Word is true (2 Sam 7:28; Psalm 119:160; John 5:32; Colossians 1:5) and God cannot lie (Titus 1:2), God’s written word, the Bible, is without error in content or message. Any discrepancies or inconsistencies are ultimately due to a lack of understanding, not evidence of a mistake or contradiction in God’s message.   
  • God has always existed, though we have not. Consequently, God created everything (Genesis 1-3) but was not Himself created. At the center of the universe as we know it is the perfect relationship between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. God the Son, Jesus Christ, came to earth, took on human flesh, and lived a sinless life to atone for the sin of the world. God the Holy Spirit has come to be our comforter (John 14:15-17), to convict of sin and righteousness and judgement (John 16:8-11), and to give us the ability to live in supernatural and counter-cultural ways. We affirm the doctrine of the Trinity, recognizing that Jesus is God. 
  • Sin is a Greek archery term that basically means to miss the mark or to fall short. Romans 6:23 says that everyone has sinned or failed to meet God’s perfect standard. As a result of that failure, we are separated from God and fellowship with God has been broken. The ultimate consequence of our failure to meet God’s perfect standard is eternal separation from God also known as death (Romans 6:23).
  • The central purpose of the incarnation of Jesus Christ was to restore the possibility of relationship with God, giving us the opportunity and privilege to be part of the most just, perfect, righteous, loving relationship ever imagined. The death of Jesus Christ in our place is God's only provision for man's sin: "He (Jesus Christ) was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification" (Romans 4:25).
  • Salvation is the opportunity to accept the invitation to be adopted into God’s family (Ephesians 2:11-19). It is not enough just to be intellectually aware of this reality. Each person must individually make a decisions about whether to embrace the opportunity of adoption or not: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:12).
  • Nothing about our relationship with God through Jesus can be accomplished apart from embracing the invitation to adoption. We cannot, in our own strength, do anything to qualify for or maintain our salvation (Ephesians 2:8, 9).​

Activity Statement

As a Christian home school group, we work to sponsor activities, classes, etc. that we believe will best serve and support our members. Some activities may be more appropriate for certain audiences over others. We trust parents to make choices as to what they feel is best for their children based on age, maturity, and intellectual development. 

CFHE does not take responsibility for the safety of your children during any CFHE activity or during transportation to or from any CFHE activity. We are not a school; we are a group of individual parents who voluntarily get together to provide educational opportunities for our children and as such, each family is responsible for the safety of their own children at all times.
