Statement of Faith

A requirement for participation in SHEEP is adherence to the following Statement of Faith:
​
​Statement of Faith:
 
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible, authoritative and the only Word of God.
  1. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons:  The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
  2. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
  3. We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and not as a result of good works.
  4. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and to perform good works.
  5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto resurrection of Life; they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
  6. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
  7. We believe God created marriage between one man and one woman as laid out in Genesis 1 – 3.

History

SHEEP, Summerville Home Educators Enriching Partners began in 2005. It all started with me, trying to find someone to teach my child how to write. I found there were other parents who felt they needed help in some other subject areas. I then began to ask parents what areas they would like to teach. Stefanie Basinger graciously offered her church and SHEEP opened its doors for the 2005-2006 school year at Old Fort Baptist. The 1st year we offered about 25 classes and served over 60 students. SHEEP moved to Summerville Church of Christ the 2008-2009 school year. We currently offer over 100 classes and serve over 500 children.
​
The mission of SHEEP is to glorify God by assisting Christian Home Educators. SHEEP is an educational partnership designed to help facilitate the home education experience and is run by parents just like you who have the desire to share their knowledge and expertise in a certain subject area. It is not the desire of SHEEP to take over the education of your child, but to simply assist the family in their home school journey.


Due to the number of students at SHEEP with many dietary restrictions, we are not a peanut or other allergy free facility. If you child has dietary needs, please contact your teachers directly.
