The Gospel Collaborative
Our mission is to create community and connection. We empower parents and inspire children to learn, grow, and belong.
We are for you—and fully invested in your success.
It all began with a small group of homeschooling parents who deeply love their children, are committed to homeschooling, and recognize the importance of community.
We longed for a place not only for our kids, but for ourselves as well.
We envisioned a safe, welcoming environment where children could learn traditional academic subjects alongside practical life skills, build meaningful friendships, and grow together. A place where parents could connect with other homeschooling families—to encourage one another, share wisdom, and learn side by side.
Homeschooling offers so many incredible benefits, and we cherish the flexibility and freedom it provides. Being part of a co-op community has added immeasurable value to our homeschooling journey, enriching both our children’s education and our own lives.
We are a Biblically based private homeschool co-op, established in 2021 and located at The Gospel Church.
We offer both traditional academic and practical life-skill classes, all taught from a Christian worldview by Christian teachers.
We love God, we love people, and we love kids.
The Gospel and The Gospel Collaborative stand firmly on the Bible and are committed to following its teachings. We are a Christian alternative to government-funded institutions, with a heart to see families encouraged, supported, and fully equipped to homeschool their little ones.

About Us
Here at The Gospel, we believe it takes a strong community to raise godly children—and our co-op is built with that same belief. Both parents are welcomed and encouraged to participate, though not required. We truly love when dads are involved (and many of you are!), because this isn’t just a moms’ group. We believe both parents play an important role in teaching and raising their children. Grandparents and close family members are welcome as well—we understand parenting, and sometimes you simply need an extra helping hand.
After your tour with Julia Thomas or Kayla Malone, you’ll quickly notice that our co-op looks a little different from traditional models. We do not require a parent from each family to teach. We recognize that for some seasons of life, simply showing up with all your children—and lunch in hand—is a victory. We see you. We get it.
We intentionally created a Christian-based cooperative with trusted teachers who align with the values of The Gospel. Why should your family miss out on community and learning because life is full and schedules are busy? If homeschooling is the right choice for your family, our heart is to support you in any way we can.
For the safety and care of our youngest students, drop-offs are not permitted for Minis.
Littles (fully potty trained), Bigs, Supers, and Megas may be dropped off through our Hands-Free package, which includes an additional drop-off fee. For questions about this option, please email
If you ever need to miss a co-op day, no worries—there’s no need to notify us. We prepare each week as if every student will be present, and absences are never a problem.
Since we do not require a parent from each family to teach, we simply ask that you help by assisting your own child when needed—such as during bathroom breaks, lunchtime, and helping them clean up after crafts or art projects.
More than anything, we love when you’re able to be present and make memories here with your children. Whether it’s bonding over a science experiment, watching their face light up when they get an answer right, cheering them on as they give a presentation in front of their peers, or simply sharing lunch together and talking—those moments matter.
Children thrive on quality time. They love making memories with you and feel so proud when mom and dad are nearby. We encourage parents to lean into that sweet season.
We also recognize that in some classes, our Bigs and Supers enjoy their independence and may prefer to be with their peers. During those times, feel free to grab a coffee, relax in our common areas, connect with another parent, or catch up on emails or work.
Our home is your home.
Class Rotation
After application approval and registration is completed, each child receives a colored lanyard. This ensures where each student belongs based on age or grade at all times. On the back of the lanyard is the child's schedule, so if ever running late or lost, your child will know exactly where to go and an adult can help assist each child. We love to have fun, but a safe and peaceful environment always comes first.
Classes rotate all day, and there are schedules posted throughout the building to assist in where your child's next class is located. We have designated parents or grandparents scheduled to help and assist with this flow.
There are also multiple other locations for parents with babies to play, nurse and diaper change while classes are held, so babies are welcomed and encouraged to come.
Our Facility
We use every space possible in our 6,000 square foot building, and when it is nice, we go outside! Security is always of the utmost importance, so if you are using the "hands-free" package, please drop off your child at the designated drop-off area.
