Homeschool Mom’s Night

A refreshing evening of Biblical encouragement for tired homeschool moms to remind them that there is hope and community in Wayne County.


November 5th, 2026

Do you need Hope and community?

Homeschooling can put your heart into lonely spaces.

If you are like me, you often wonder if you’re going to make it. If you are like me, there are times when you wonder if you are the only one.

God never meant for a homeschool mom to do it alone. He wants to be our Hope.

God never meant for us to do this life alone. He placed a whole community of other homeschool moms in Wayne County.

Wayne County Homeschool Mom, this evening is for you!

🤍🤍🤍

We would like to pour into you, point you to Jesus, spoil you, fill you with yummy food, give you an evening with friends, giggles, and mostly encouragement. We want to encourage you to keep tending to your heart. Get your ticket to attend today!

My Vision for Homeschool Mom’s Night

  • My goal is to offer homeschool moms a time to get together for encouragement. A time that we pour into them, fill them up to the brim with Jesus, so they are ready to go back to their families and pour out.
  • It is important to me that each event consists of a Bible teaching, personal story/testimony time, practical ways to implement the lessons, perhaps through a workshop or story-time.
  • Each event also includes a vendor area where homeschool moms can share their passions/hobbies/side hustles that serve homeschoolers.
  • Another important goal of Mom’s Night is to give the women in our area the opportunity to use their gifts and talents to bless and serve others. Things like organization, food, decorations, hospitality, speaking, and teaching.
  • It is important that the speakers are women that are reachable, someone you can talk to long after they stop speaking on the “stage”.

How it all began

The dream began one day when I went to a homeschool convention. I walked into the event very tired, drained, and not sure that I could homeschool another day. I was immediately met with speaking sessions that pointed me to Jesus. The whole day, speaker after speaker, I was uplifted and encouraged. I left the event ready to go back to my calling to homeschool.

During that day a desire began to form inside me. A desire to give this sort of day to the ladies in my area. And this is what became of this dream.

Local moms speaking life and encouragement to local moms. It is truly the best.
