The Full Story ​​Who We Are Telos Rhetoric Club is a Christian family speech and debate club, parent-sponsored and student-run. TRC is affiliated with NCFCA: a homeschool speech and debate organization. Our goal: is for students to learn how to communicate from a Biblical worldview in an articulate, winsome manner that glorifies God. It is our intention to provide homeschool families with learning experiences that are fun and enjoyable TRC trains students to improve their skills in communication through club activities such as apologetics and impromptu speaking as well as eight other speech events, debate, competitions, and speaking in the community. We concentrate on preparing our 12-18 year-old students. Parents learn alongside their children, critique speeches and debates, judge, teach, and offer encouragement. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ This fall we will be offering Lincoln Douglas Value debate, and will offer Team Policy debate if enough students are interested. In the fall, our club focus is training the students and blessing our community through volunteer and mission work. The focus for the spring is on preparation to compete in tournaments.

To provide these opportunities to homeschooled students, and their parents, we facilitate club meetings and conferences. Vision ​ TELOS - in Greek means “end goal.” Our end goal is to train our students through RHETORIC (engaging and persuasive speech) to become articulate winsome spokespersons for our Lord, honoring and glorifying Him. Leadership ​ Telos Rhetoric Club (TRC) is parent sponsored & student run. Our vision is to promote leadership among youth while still maintaining parental involvement. TRC has both a board of directors, which is composed of select parents, and a board of officers, which is made up of students who are given specific responsibilities.
