CHELC is a group of professing Christians who home educate
their children. Our purpose for existing is to encourage
each other in the God-given responsibilities and privileges
of educating our children. We seek to promote excellence in
education by providing information about home education and
Christian family life through books, tapes, support
meetings, etc. We try to offer a variety of opportunities
for educational and social development of our children. We
provide legislative information that is pertinent to the
continuing freedom to homeshool in
South Carolina. In exchange for the

STATEMENT
OF FAITH
1. The Bible is the inspired
and infallible Word of God and constitutes completed and
final revelation. The Bible, in its original autograph, is
without error in whole and in part; including theological
concepts as well as geographical and historical details.
2. God has existed from all
eternity in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ is God come in human
flesh being fully man except without sin.
3. All men are in violation
of God’s righteous requirements and His holy character both
by wrath and just condemnation. The central purpose of the
coming of Jesus Christ was to pay the substitutionary death
on the cross – the successful accomplishment of which was
attested to by His subsequent visible, bodily resurrection.
4. Salvation is offered as a
gift; free to the sinner. This gift must by responded to in
individual faith, not trusting in any personal works
whatsoever, but the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone.
My signature is confirmation that I am in agreement
with and compliance to the Statement of Faith
