RCHSA Code of Conduct

Core Values

The Rowan County Home School Association exists to glorify God by supporting, encouraging, and equipping homeschooling families. We aim to create an environment where all members feel safe, respected, and welcomed. Our values are rooted in the truths of Scripture and the belief that every person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). We strive to model Christlike character in speech, behavior, and appearance, showing love, humility, and mutual respect in all we do (Colossians 3:12-14; Philippians 2:3-4; John 13:34-35).

Biblical Standard of Conduct

Our actions, words, and attitudes should reflect Christ’s example (Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 10:31). We seek to build one another up (Ephesians 4:29), avoid actions that cause offense or division (Romans 14:19), and represent our group in a way that honors the Lord (Colossians 3:17).

Leader Authority

Group leaders, board members, and designated volunteers have the authority to address anyclothing, behavior, or situation they deem inappropriate, disruptive, unsafe, or inconsistent with this Code of Conduct. 

They may:
*Speak directly to the individual or parent/guardian (Matthew 18:15-16)
*Request an immediate change (e.g., adjust attire, stop an activity)
*Ask a participant to leave the event if the issue is not resolved (Titus 2:15)

Resolution Process

Concerns will be handled privately and respectfully whenever possible (Galatians 6:1), with the goal of restoration and unity (Ephesians 4:3). If an issue persists after repeated discussions, the family may be asked to step back from RCHSA activities or membership (2 Thessalonians 3:6, 14-15).
