Our annual spring Homeschool Conference
was a huge success again!
We look forward seeing you at our
Spring 2015 Homeschool Conference!
Home Education has changed over the decades since it was first legalized in Washington State. And the needs of home educators have changed as well. Through the course of the last twenty years, Christian Family Home Educators has sought to meet those needs as creatively and resourcefully as possible. This year’s annual conference was no different. Hal and Melanie Young connected with the hearts of those who attended, encouraging them and giving valuable insight into not only raising boys, but raising children in general.
Workshops were very well attended; several had standing room only, before chairs were stolen from Mr. Dykstra’s classroom (thank you, Mr. Dykstra!!) as well as the boys’ locker room. Especially popular were Patrick Nurre’s workshop on Egyptian Chronology and the Bible, Susan Evan’s workshop on Early Learning Centers, and DiAnna Brannan’s workshop on Homeschooling Through High School. Mackenzie Monroe encouraged beginners, and Nicole Neale helped mamas figure out how to get organized, and why it was worth the effort. And while the vendor hall was smaller than other years, several great vendors showed up to make it a smashing success.
The Young’s booth was so popular that it was moved to the sanctuary after the final session, even as the vendor hall was closing. Next year, be looking for the vendor hall to be open for last minute purchases at the end of the conference.
More than anything, the sweet fellowship of families committed to directing the education of their children was a blessing to everyone who attended. If you joined us and have some favorite memories, we’d love to hear them. If you have suggestions on how to make things better, please let us know! We are already considering some of the suggestions from this year.
CFHE purchased some of the Young’s CD’s, and they look like great titles. So check them out in the Resource Library. (during Mom’s Night Out is a great time to do this!)

Christian Family Home Educators Mission/Vision Statement
CFHE desires to give vision and support to fathers and mothers as they disciple their own children in the nurture and admonition of the LORD in order to supply godly seed to the One who ordained families for that purpose (Mal 2:15, Eph 6:1).
To accomplish this mission, CFHE will work on providing:
As the mission is fulfilled, CFHE becomes a collective testimony and voice in our communities that there are those who are diligently integrating worship, training in righteousness, education and economics into their family structures and lives.
In the midst of a decaying and destructive society, there will be many who will be encouraged to begin, or continue, to take back their families and re-establish God’s order and blessing on the home.
CFHE does not presume to know the best method for homeschooling. We will not promote one curriculum over another, nor will we evaluate or promote one program over another. Although there are a myriad of different education options available, the information we provide will be limited to homeschooling options not provided by public or private school systems. Additionally, because volunteer hours in CFHE are at a premium, those hours will be dedicated to helping those who educate at home independently and do not have other means of support.
To accomplish this mission, CFHE will work on providing:
- Information – website, newsletter, conferences, etc
- Coordination – Mom’s Night Out, field trips, etc
- Opportunities to serve others in this mission
