FBC's Homeschool Co-Op is a ministry and cooperative effort on the part of families and friends of First Baptist Church of Eaton Rapids. The families who participate do so out of a desire to work together, making use of the various gifts, talents, expertise, and experiences the Lord has given them to serve other homeschooling families in the Body of Christ.

What are the primary goals of the CO-OP?

Our primary goal is to glorify God by providing support for homeschooling families and Godly fellowship and friendship for their children. In all our subjects we point to Jesus Christ as the creator and author of every subject. We teach that apart from God there would be no language, no science, no history of which to teach.

Do I have to be a member of FBC in order to participate?

Each year's co-op classes vary. Please check out our registration page for information on this upcoming year's classes.

What is the format of the CO-OP?

All parents and students meet in the sanctuary at 9am to take part in our morning opening. We start our time together with sword drills, prayer, saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the Bible, Christian Flag, and American Flag, singing praises to our Lord, listening to a brief message from Scripture from Pastor John and then dismissing to classes.

Children in grades 1st and up rotate through the various classes that are offered until the day ends at noon and everybody is dismissed while children nursery - kindergarten stay in their designated class the entire co-op.
