While we are not exclusively a home school a church -- many of our families choose public or private schools -- we do have an umbrella ministry at our church called Kingdom Ministries. Kingdom Ministries is approved by Maryland's Board of Education and provides oversight for home schooled students in grades K-12.

Services Provided: Twice-yearly portfolio review in light of Maryland's requirements. Maintenance of academic records (grades K-12). Assistance in planning a course of study for high school students. High school credits are awarded based on the completion of work and transcripts are provided as needed. Liaison to the local county Board of Education. Automatic enrollment in Maryland Association of Christian Home Educators (MACHE). Support, Care, and Fellowship: We can help you plan and answer your questions. We can help you select curriculum and provide you with information on local home school activities. Four times a year, parents come together for an evening of fellowship, relaxation, laughter, prayer, and encouragement through the sharing of an academic topic or project. Student Recognition: Kingdom Ministries hosts an annual dinner and graduation ceremony complete with caps and gowns. A diploma is awarded to each graduate by his or her parents. “Achievement Night” is our annual end-of-the-year celebration during which each family can display students’ work. Each student has an opportunity to share a talent, and all students are presented with certificates of recognition for the year’s accomplishments. Interested?
