Our Founders
Hi we're Brendan and Liz Rooney. We are a homesteading, home birthing, home churching, homeschooling, ministry family. Brendan is the Overseer of Free Range Family Ecclesia and a work from home software engineer. Liz is a minister alongside him at Free Range Family, Owner of Elisheva Loves Yeshua LLC and Director of Heritage Haven Homeschool Cooperative. We are an adventurous outdoors family that loves to travel, grow food, and forage herbs. Will hike for waterfalls!
Homeschooling honestly wasn't our preference at first, but the Lord changed our mind. Now we believe it is not only a call on our lives by the Lord to home educate our own children, but also help other families who are a bit "free range" like us and leaving the institutional life on a voyage to return to the Father's design for life, family, church, and education.
We knew that we wanted a solid YHVH centered education for our children, but were disappointed to see our options for "Christian" private schools and even the homeschool styles and curricula that we saw available. We knew there had to be something closer to what our Father God designed for our children's education and that's when Heritage Haven was started. For 3 years we ran only as a local co-op in a small Wisconsin town until we realized the need for Hebraic-Christian education worldwide.
A growing amount of families are waking up to the deception, not just in the secular world but also in the church, and they are leaving man made religious denominations and institutional education in droves to seek the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth of our heavenly Father and His Son Yeshua. By the power of the Holy Spirit we can raise our children to be the true Ecclesia of YHVH.
Our Mission
Heritage Haven exists to provide a community of support and opportunities for relationship and fellowship with like-minded Hebraic-Christian homeschooling families.
Heritage families seek to know the truth (in accordance with the Word of God) in every facet of life and education. We look to the scriptures by the leading of Holy Spirit for our source of truth and understanding over the traditions and philosophies of the world.
Heritage families are...
- Children of Father God / YHVH / Yahuah
- Followers of Jesus / Yeshua / Yahusha the Lamb of God
- Led and empowered by the Holy Spirit
- Focused on family and community rather than governed institutions
- Connected to God's creation
- Awake to the deceptions in the world but focused on the truth and power of God
- Question askers and truth seekers
