A Bit of History

Ambassadors for Christ Speech & Debate Club began in 2006 for Christian, home educated students ages 8-12 years old in our Junior Varsity group and students, mature 12 year olds - high school graduation in our Senior Varsity group. Ambassador Club has grown and developed in the years since.

Our 2024-2025 Coaches

We have an amazing and awesome group of coaches who have participated and excelled in speech and debate as home schooled students, who have graduated from their home school and are either in college or early years of their careers. A couple continue to debate at the college level. All of our coaches have experience coaching speech and debate in Clubs, Camps, and privately. They enjoy this activity tremendously and understand the great benefits to young people of learning to be skilled communicators with practice in public speaking and critical thinking.

Most significantly, they are a group of dedicated Christian servant-leaders who are motivated to train a younger generation of home schoolers in these important life skills!
