2008 State Home School Convention

Message From The President

Chris Christian

On behalf of the Board of Directors of CHEF of Alabama, I would like to invite you to attend and benefit from a very exciting 2008 CHEF of Alabama State Convention.  We have assembled a variety of workshop topics by national and statewide seasoned veterans of the home school movement.  In addition to the great keynote addresses that are centered around our theme of “Discipling The Next Generation", we are offering several workshop tracks that are sure to assist and encourage both the veteran and the new home school parents in their pursuit of excellence in Christian home education.

Home education gives us the best opportunity to effectively  pass the baton to our children and assure that tomorrow's  Christian leaders are well trained to carry that baton.  It is not the responsibility of the public schools, the private schools, or the church to train or educate our children.  God has clearly given parents that responsibility.  This Convention will be designed to encourage and exhort parents to diligently disciple and mentor their children.

In addition to offering multiple excellent workshop tracks, this year we are scheduling workshops to allow for ample shopping time in our Exhibition Hall.  Adjacent to their booths, selected vendors will conduct workshops on their curriculum at various times of the day.  We believe you will find the Vendor Hall to be rich with resource information and very helpful in your curriculum selection for the upcoming year.

We hope that you will find the 2008 CHEF of Alabama Convention to be both beneficial and encouraging.  The training of our children is an awesome responsibility and an ordained calling given to us by God (Deut. 6: 6-9).  Please take advantage of this opportunity to receive exhortation, encouragement, and assistance with your home school resource selection at the 2008 CHEF Convention.
