HSN Statement of Faith

"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."
(Ephesians 4:1-6, NKJV)

The purpose of The Homeschoolers Support Network is to minister to home educating families in New Jersey. As a distinctively Christian group, our past, present, and future are devoted to service within the body of Christ. We welcome as members all people of good will who are comfortable within that context.

Some members may be called by God to a deeper level of service through leadership within The Homeschoolers Support Network. In order to maintain our primary goal, which is service to Christ and His people, we ask that those in leadership be of one heart and mind regarding certain key elements of faith.

We, the leadership of The Homeschoolers Support Network, believe:

There is one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

Jesus Christ is the only-begotten Son of God, He is very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

For us and for our salvation, Christ came down from heaven, and was born of the virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again in glory, to judge the quick and the dead; His kingdom shall have no end.

The Holy Spirit is the Lord and Giver of Life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.

The Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men and the Divine and final authority for Christian faith and life.

The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ are born of the Holy Spirit and, thus, become children of God.
