Mission Statement
Home Instruction Support (H.I.S.) Ministry is an inter-denominational ministry committed to honoring God and providing support to home schooling families. It is specifically designed for families desiring to join together in Christian community to help each other “train up their children in the way of the Lord” and attain certain academic goals.
H.I.S. Ministry supports families who hold to the essential elements of the Christian faith, who are “like-minded” as to the need for the moral character development of their children, whose children desire to be discipled in their faith, who have need for academic support and strive for high academic standards aligned with the Classical Approach, who desire to work in Christian community through the contribution of time, talent, energy and financial support, and who are instructing their children to remain emotionally and physically pure for marriage (i.e. courtship principals).
Statement of Faith
THE SCRIPTURES We believe in the plenary-verbal inspiration of the Word of God, and that both the Old and New Testaments are inerrant in the original writings and are the supreme and final authority for faith and life.
THE GODHEAD We believe the Godhead exists in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three Persons are one God having precisely the same nature, attributes, and perfection’s.
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST We believe in (a) His eternal existence as God, (b) His Incarnation and Virgin Birth, (c) His death on the cross as the substitutionary atonement for sin, (d) His literal, bodily resurrection from the dead, (e) His present ministry of intercession in heaven, and (f) His personal, future return to earth.
THE HOLY SPIRIT We believe that the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, convicts men of sin, regenerates, baptizes, indwells, seals, and sets apart believers unto a holy life; that He keeps and empowers believers day by day; that He is the Teacher of the Word of God and the Guide for daily living.
MAN We believe that (a) man was created innocent and pure, and (b) Adam fell through the sin of disobedience. Therefore, (c) all men are corrupted in body, soul, and spirit; and (d) all men need redemption.
SALVATION We believe that (a) salvation is by grace, a free gift of God apart from works, (b) salvation requires repentance, a turning from one’s own way to God’s way, (c) salvation is through personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, (d) all who receive Jesus Christ are regenerated by the Holy Spirit and become children of God, and (e) true salvation will be manifested by a changed life.
THE FUTURE We believe (a) in the personal, visible bodily return of Jesus Christ to earth, (b) in the bodily resurrection of the just to eternal abode in the glory of God’s presence, and (c) in the bodily resurrection of the unjust to judgment and everlasting separation from God.
FAMILY God immutably created human beings as distinctly male or female, who together reflect the image of God (Genesis 1:26- 27). To reject one’s biological gender is a rejection of the image of God within that person and is a sin against God. The Bible teaches that marriage consists of the union between one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24, Ephesians 5:22-33).
