Trades for Life
Our Purpose and Mission

The vision for TradeWinds Institute was given to Mrs. Shermaine Jones out of God's heart for those students He has designed to work with their hands to discover that gift.   It is a pioneer program in the homeschool network that began 
September 14, 2011 to lay a foundation for career options or personal enrichment.
Purpose:
   To expose interested high school aged homeschoolers to the skilled trades and bring them to a level of basic proficiency in an affirming Christian environment.


Mission:
   To produce homeschoolers who can do minor household repairs and simple remodeling in order to enjoy it as a hobby or to continue to pursue the trades as a career.


Scriptural Foundation:
"Establish Thou (give permanence to) the work of our hands." Psalms 90:17 NASB


"Do you see a man skilled in his work?  He will stand before kings; He will not stand before obscure men." Proverbs 22:29 NASB


"...I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,...and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill,..."
Exodus 31:3,6b NASB


Statement of Faith:
   We believe and teach that Jesus Christ is the only Son of God, equal and eternal with the Father and the Holy Spirit and is the only way to salvation.  The Bible is the only inspired, infallible, authoritative Word of God.
