Start a Homeschool Co-op in Your Church
Welcome to HomeschoolChurch.org
If you found us at a pastor conference, a convention booth, or through a conversation with Paul Suarez, David Watkins, or Homer Allen, you are in the right place.
The Pastor Plan Initiative exists to help you do one thing: open your church doors to homeschooling families and make Christian education a ministry of your local church.
You do not need to start a school. You do not need to hire staff. You do not need a curriculum plan or a license. What you need is a willing heart and a biblical conviction that the discipleship of children belongs under the care of the church and the family, not the state.
That is what The Pastor Plan is here to help you do.
What Is a Homeschooling Ministry in Your Church?
A church homeschool ministry is simply your local church opening its doors during the week so homeschooling families can gather for discipleship, fellowship, and shared academic support, all under the spiritual oversight of their pastor and elders.
Each church homeschool ministry is:
- Led by the local church, fully autonomous and directed by your leadership
- Driven by homeschool parents, with families teaching and learning together
- Flexible in structure, serving the grade levels your church is called to support. Some focus on elementary, others on high school, while many include preschool through 12th grade
- Centered on discipleship, creating a space for Christ-centered education and strong biblical community
- Supported by The Pastor Plan Initiative, which walks alongside you to help establish and organize your homeschool co-op
You determine how it functions: how often to meet, what classes to offer, and how many families to include. We help you get started, connect with others, and shape it in a way that fits your church and community.
Everything The Pastor Plan provides is free to the church. Training, materials, guidance, ongoing support. All of it. No cost.
Why Pastors Are Acting Now
The numbers are devastating. According to George Barna and Pew Research, the vast majority of Christian children who go through the public school system walk away from the faith after graduation. These are not statistics about someone else’s church. These are the children sitting in your pews on Sunday and sitting in a classroom on Monday where the name of God is unwelcome, where biblical truth is mocked, and where everything the church teaches is actively contradicted.
Families already know this. They are leaving the public school system in record numbers. They are ready to homeschool, but they need help. They are looking to their churches, and most churches have nothing to offer them.
Your church can be the answer.
You can open your doors one or two days a week and watch what happens. Parents from your community begin teaching one another’s children using a faith-based curriculum, all happening right inside your church. No new buildings. No extra staff. No need to hire teachers. The children’s education is no longer something happening apart from their faith. It becomes an extension of it. Your church becomes their answer, the place where education is discipleship.
