Welcome!
We’re a warm and welcoming community for homeschool families with children ages 5–18, with younger siblings always welcome to join the fun. As a brand new homeschool group, we’re excited to grow together! We meet at New Hope Worship Center each Friday from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM for a mix of learning, fellowship, and activities—building friendships, exploring new skills, and encouraging one another in both faith and life.
​We are a Christ-centered homeschooling community where faith inspires learning, friendships grow, and hearts find encouragement. We offer support and connection that honor the natural rhythms of busy family life, creating a nurturing space where parents and children can grow, rest, and thrive.
​
Ready to join us? Please register before our first Meet & Greet on September 12, 2025!

Join Our Facebook Community
We have a private Facebook group where families in the homeschool group connect, share resources, and stay updated on events. Because it’s a closed group, membership is by invitation only. If you’re interested in joining, please email us here so we can send you an invite!
