Meet Rebecca
Hi! My name is Rebecca Swanson Groves.
I am brand-new when it comes to the world of homeschooling and the amazing benefits that come from homeschooling. My husband, John, and I were married in 2015 in Kentucky, where John is from. We have hopes and plans on starting a family soon. Those plans have always included homeschooling our kids.
Juggling 2-part-time jobs (here at Rainbow and as an appointed pastor of a nearby church) free time is limited. When I do have the opportunity, I love spending it with my family on our family farm, exploring nearby cities and parks with my husband, crocheting, reading, and writing.
Since 2011, I have worked with students in unconventional settings. As a student ministries director and camp coordinator I have had the opportunity of working with children and youth of all ages in unique learning situations outside the classroom. Through camping ministries, mission trips, service projects, and church settings the world becomes a classroom and a teaching/learning experience. As an ordained pastor I have also worked with and counseled parents and families as they navigate uncharted waters during childhood and adolescent years.
In 2020 we moved from Cincinnati, OH to Central Illinois so I could continue my residency program for my ordination within my denomination’s conference. I was then introduced to the Rainbow Resource Center and their ministry and mission for the Homeschool world. After just a few short months, I knew that Rainbow Resource Center was a place I could live out my heart for ministry and service to those in need in a very unique way, through Homeschooling and education. I was approached here at RRC about joining the consultancy team in the fall of 2021. Through my time here at Rainbow I have had many children’s Bibles, character building books, Bible studies, and spiritual formation books and lessons cross my desk. I see the immense value in adding Bible and theological studies to a student’s studies. Coming from a theological studies degree and a Christian leadership background, the inclusion of Biblical teaching and concepts is so important for character development and spiritual formation. Whether this is through intentional Biblical study or through incorporating Bible work within the curriculum, this is a significant element to a child’s education.
As a part-time consultant it has been a great joy of mine to sit and talk with you about your specific needs and desires for your students. I love that I have been given the opportunity to keep on learning. As a learner and forever student, I take advantage of the chances given to me to continue to learn and share the things that I am learning. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. I can be reached at consultants@rainbowresource.com, by phone at 888-841-3456, or via Live chat on our website.
~ Be A Blessing!
