Does your church have a ministry to homeschooling families?

Imagine a place where homeschooling families can find friendship, academic enrichment, information and encouragement right in their community!  Now imagine this homeschool ministry functioning as a ministry of the local church.  That's FCHM!

First Class offers all this and more.  FCHM chapters receive leadership training, support and materials from the only para-church ministry designed specifically to meet the needs of homeschooling families!

At First Class, we're passionate about partnering with parents and pastors to build a network of homeschool ministries around the world.

 

New and Existing Co-ops are Welcome at FCHM

From ordinary to vibrant - FCHM helps you take your homeschool co-op to a whole new level!  Whether you need to start, grow, or revitalize your homeschool ministry, FCHM is here for you.

Our mission is to help homeschooling families through building a network of homeschool cooperatives in partnership with local churches.

It's the Network!

When your church or homeschool group joins First Class Homeschool Ministries, you become part of an incredible, international evangelistic homeschool ministry association - one that gives you the tools you need to create a vibrant homeschool co-op for families with children of all ages to draw together for support, encouragement and friendship!

Your membership gives you creative ideas, guides for leaders, easy ways to promote and fund your ministry, a whole network of other homeschool co-op leaders and members just like you, leadership training and so much more.

At First Class, we believe that the church can and should be a primary place of support for homeschooling families.   Our program has been created with this in mind.

Join First Class today!

There has never been a better time to join the growing network of homeschooling families of First Class. Our co-ops are bringing life and encouragement to homeschooling families and our member benefits are an added bonus. Check out what's happening in homeschooling communities just like yours and join the network!

Why Start a First Class Homeschool Co-op?

Homeschool co-op students

At First Class, we believe that homeschoolers are at their best when they're connected with other homeschooling families. Many churches today want to reach out to homeschooling families, but are unsure of an effective way to do so.

Equally as important is that by partnering with FCHM, you help other parents and pastors start homeschool co-ops!  That's right!  By partnering with FCHM, you become part of a much larger umbrella ministry.

 

FCHM will help you, in partnership with your local church:

  • Start a homeschool cooperative using a model that works (over 2000 families have enrolled in First Class co-ops)
  • Have access to a database that was made for the sole purpose of making your homeschool cooperative easier to manage
  • Connect with other First Class co-ops in exchanging ideas, encouragement and inspiration
  • Reach out to your local community of homeschoolers with a Christ-centered program
  • Be part of an organization that is committed to coming alongside local churches and parents in ministry
  • Help connect your group with your state organizations
