HEA ORGANIZATION GUIDELINES and PURPOSE

God's truth and His principles are the foundation of all knowledge; children must not only be taught to believe as Christians, but also be taught to think as Christians; God's principles must be taught to children in a comprehensive manner on a daily basis; God's truth speaks to every academic discipline. God has delegated the authority and responsibility to teach and raise children to parents first. Parents can delegate their authority to teach and raise their children to someone else, but they cannot delegate their responsibility to teach their children to anyone else. God will hold parents responsible for what education their children receive (whether from teachers, books, projects, or peers.) HEA's purpose is to encourage and support parents and children and to uphold those delegated responsibilities as led by the Spirit of God in a loving, caring environment.
