Why raising the next generation matters
Don't Waste Your Kids
by Gregg Harris
Psalm 127 tells us that God has issued our children to us to be "as arrows in the hand of warrior." That means we are supposed to make every shot count in the battle against wickedness. But how can we aim our children for life? What is the right target? And how should we exert our influence? The answers are both profound and simple.

About Us
First Class Homeschool Ministries opened it's first co-op in 2000. Three years ago, under the leadership of Jay and Heidi St.John, First Class became a national non-profit ministry and since that time, First Class has started homeschool co-ops in 28 locations around the United States and Canada.
First Class has a vision to see churches become "lighthouses" for homeschooling families - because we believe that the church can offer a place for homeschoolers to make friends, find encouragement, take classes, and ultimately, meet Jesus Christ.
FCHM Co-ops meet an average of just 18 mornings a year - a small time investment that yeilds a tremendous result - and we are growing fast. Because we are a support-based ministry, we depend on the support of others who share this vision in order to continue to grow.
It is our prayer that eventually, First Class Homeschool co-ops will be a staple of Christian churches all over the world, and we are excited to partner with others as we seek the Lord for the future of FCHM.
