TEACH Texarkana Membership Application Process

Per the TEACH Texarkana Governing Documents, membership is only open to Christian homeschooling families (Bylaws Article IV-6 and Doctrinal Statement). Those of differing Christian denominations are encouraged to participate in all activities provided they do not seek to propagate opposing religious views or cause disunity within the organization (Standing Rules 10).

While filling out the application, please allow enough time to read through our six Governing Documents(Qs #5 & #20). By signing your name, you are agreeing to the group guidelines held within those documents.

After the Governing Documents, you will be asked to fill out the Insurance Waiver (Q #21). Please fill that out FIRST (it will open in another window), and then sign the blank to show you completed it. This waiver must be filled out before you are allowed to attend events.

Next, you will be asked to fill out the Membership Code of Conduct (Q #22). Ensure you have enough time to read applicable areas of the Code of Conduct to you child(ren). Please fill that out FIRST (it will open in another window), and then sign the blank to show you completed it. This must be filled out before you are allowed to attend events.

Once the application is completed and submitted, you will be given further instructions, and our Membership Director will contact you.

Annual Membership Dues for TEACH Texarkana are $50. This will be due after your application is approved. *Note: As stated in the Standing Rules document, starting in January, the prorated membership dues amount is $30.
