FED is a group of families who came together in 2015 to share the responsibilities of educating our children. We were looking for ways to help our families as they walk this homeschool journey together. As our group began to expand, we moved it from our individual homes to a local church, and then Camp Hoblitzelle from 2020-2025. FED is currently held at Stonegate Church, Midlothian TX. In 2022, FED received their official certification as a 501 3(c) nonprofit.

Homeschool In Texas

In the state of Texas, home schools are recognized as private schools. As such, you, as the student’s parent, are always the homeschool teacher. FED is here to offer you assistance in that educating process, through our qualified tutors. You, as the teacher, have the responsibility of selecting classes, purchasing curriculum, keeping records, and making final decisions for your students' education.

Statement of Christian Faith

We believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God. We believe in the one true God who is eternal. We believe that man came by direct creation of God and not evolution. We believe that man was created in the image of God and that He created man and woman. We believe man is spiritually lost and separated due to sin. We believe that Jesus was fully man and God, born of a virgin and lived a perfect life. We believe that Jesus paid the price for our sins by the shedding of His blood on the cross. We believe that salvation is by grace alone and by believing in and accepting Christ as your personal Savior. As believers and followers of Christ, we are called to live lives pleasing to the Lord and to abstain from sinful practices that grieve Him. We believe that God is the giver of life and all human life is sacred and to be protected and preserved. We believe in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ through word and deed but not forcing God or He laws upon anyone who does not believe. We believe all people have the right to hear and to choose for themselves whether to follow Jesus, but WE reserve the right to teach Jesus in our classrooms and in our homeschool community.

Gender Statement

We believe at FED that all people are made in the image of a holy, righteous God. This means that every human being has immeasurable worth, dignity, and value. We believe that God created two genders, male and female. (Genesis 1:27) And we believe the Scriptures show that God assigns gender in the womb to children and identifies that by their biological and anatomical traits. Therefore, FED reserves the right to address children by their God-given gender.

We know that some children struggle with gender dysphoria and are aware this can be a natural process of development. We know and recognize this is often a heart-breaking struggle for both the child and the family, and we encourage both to seek the help needed from pastors and counselors. We at FED reserve the right to protect both the child struggling with gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction, as well as all other students who attend FED. Therefore, name calling and harmful words will not be tolerated. If and when relational conflict occurs, we expect parents to work out their concerns with other parents in a loving and Christ-like manner. We also expect parents to lead and direct their child in appropriate behavior (this includes clothes that correspond to their gender), while participating at FED events.

The leadership of FED has deep convictions around gender and sexual ethics that flow from the Scriptures. We also have compassionate hearts. We hope both our conviction and compassion are felt. We know that every child/family situation is unique, so the Board reserves the right to view each situation individually and make decisions that will benefit FED and its members.
