Axios Membership 

 

• Membership is open to families intending to compete in NCFCA.

• Members will agree with NCFCA's Statement of Faith and Position Statements.

• NCFCA affiliation information may be found at NCFCA.org.

• At least one parent per family will attend Axios meetings with their child(ren).   In Axios, parents are co-learners with their students.  Parents and students act as coaches, teachers, and accountability partners.

• Classes are designed for NCFCA competition-aged students.  Students must turn 12 by January 1 of the current school year to compete in NCFCA.

• Children under competition age are welcome to attend Axios with their families.  Parents are responsible for supervising and bringing suitable materials to engage their younger children.  

• Fees will be determined and divided co-op style to cover facility and shared classroom expenses. We aim to keep fees at approximately $200 per family + $15 per child.

• Tournament materials will be purchased by each family for their child.

 

​

Club Meetings

Our learning community meets roughly three times a month, September-early May, at Auxano Church in Elm Grove.

 

We  are a community that learns together, and we encourage participation in both speech and debate (regardless of whether or not your child competes in both events!).  

​

 Our day looks like:

10:30-12:15   Speech and Apologetics

12:15-12:45   Lunch (bring your own)

12:45-2:30   Value Debate

​​

If you can participate in only Speech/Apologetics or only Debate, please just contact us for a quick conversation.  Thanks!
