ABOUT US
Heritage Haven is a Christian Homeschool Cooperative made up of like-minded families working together and supporting each other to maximize the homeschooling experience for all involved.
​
Heritage families seek to know the truth (in accordance with the Word of God) in every facet of life and education. We look to God’s Word for our source of truth and understanding over of the traditions and philosophies of the world.
​
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Psalm 127:3-4
What is the Hebraic-Christian
Approach to Education?
Hebraic Christian Education is a holistic, functional, and family-centered approach to lifelong learning that keeps God the Father, Jesus our Messiah, and the Holy Spirit at the center. Heritage Haven families use the Hebraic Christian approach to education and learning to glean from the Hebrew heritage and way of thinking that we have been grafted into (Hebrews 11:11-31) while also living as believers in the New Covenant, being indwelt and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
We enjoy learning about the Hebrew language, the Hebrew culture, and the Biblical feasts to help us develop a rich understanding of God’s word, but we do not hold the position that these things are necessary for salvation. Rather, we see the beauty of God’s story of redemption through His chosen people and desire to walk in His design for life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3)
The Guiding Principles of a Hebraic Christian Education:
Knowing God
Family
Community
The Whole Person
Function
Practicality
Concrete Thought
Cooperation
Action
Heritage Haven Is Appreciated By Families Who Are:
Christ Followers
We believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Yeshua Hamashiach) is the only way, truth, and life. We believe in having a true relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy spirit over religion and denominations. We are part of the worldwide body of Christ, united to serve the one true God and continue the works of Jesus as He instructed us to do.
Holy Spirit Filled Believers
The Holy Spirit dwells in us to teach, guide, comfort, and empower us to minister to others. We believe in supernatural miracles and manifestations of the power of God as the Father wills for His glory. We believe in training our children to not just be a card carrying member a church club but to be a carrier of the power and presence of God and move in the gifts of the Holy Spirit as the Lord leads to build the church and equip the saints. Children do not have a Jr. Holy Spirit but the same exact Holy Spirit that moves through adults can move just as powerfully through children.
Passionate About Learning
We believe that Homeschooling is the best option to provide our children with a well-rounded, biblically-based education. We believe that parents are the most highly qualified people to teach their own children. We are passionate not only about preparing our children for the education or career path of their choice, but more importantly to live their God given purpose on this earth and developing the unique gifts that He has equipped them with to do so.
We believe in teaching the whole child, and that true learning goes way beyond the memorization of facts or information in a textbook.
In the World, but Not of it
We know that we are Christ followers in the middle of sin-filled world and a culture that is growing increasingly hostile to God. It's not possible to avoid everything that is sinful or has a pagan origin (even the days of the week are named after false gods.) However, we do believe that it is our responsibility to search for the origins of the traditions of men and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to discern what is best for our family to participate or not participate in. We desire to be a people that are set apart from the world and display the goodness and glory of God.
See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ. Colossians 2:8
Truth Seekers
While we choose to place our focus on our mighty God and His power, we are also aware that our adversary, the devil, seeks to sell our children lies as truth. We teach our children how to exercise wisdom and discernment when learning new information and how to separate truth and facts from lies and agenda. We believe that scientific theories should be taught as such, and not used as biased propaganda.
There is the history that we are told, and the hidden history that we dig for. We teach our children to question everything, rely on the Holy Spirit for wisdom and discernment, weigh concrete evidence, and test everything with scripture.
We love to expand our knowledge of the word of God by studying the culture and context of when it was written as well as the original languages that it was written in.
Naturally-Minded
We believe that God is not against science, but that He created science for our well being. We trust that the Lord's creation is good and choose to use His means of healing and health over the world's methods and pharmakeia that is idolized in today's society.
We are passionate about teaching our children how to eat well and live a lifestyle of divine health; using the Lords creation as led by the Holy Spirit. We see the immeasurable value of teaching our children the timeless basics of nutrition, foraging, organic gardening, herbal remedies, instinctive parenting etc.
And well... Busy!
We value a homeschooling community that helps us make the most of our time and energy without adding unnecessary stress to our weekly schedule. We share the load with each other in many ways and build each other up.
We encourage families to connect on a deeper level with others in the group to bear one another's burdens, help teach each other's children to allow more social interaction for the kids and give each other time to rest, reconnect with God, run errands, etc.
​
Heritage Haven offers the options of organized field trips, bible studies, chapel, family fellowship days, ministry opportunities, and hybrid classes,. There is no pressure to attend everything. Each family can choose the level of involvement that works for them.
