Building Faith Families

The Coastal Home Educators Conference is June 13th-15th at Community Bible Church in Beaufort, SC.

Are you interested in homeschooling, but overwhelmed by all the information out there? We believe that God has given us the ability to teach and train our own children. We hope to encourage you that He will enable you to do the same. Our goal is to raise children who will grow in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Our heart is for our kids to love Christ and show His love to others. The academics are important, but secondary to the character of our children’s hearts.

CHEC is a ministry of Community Bible Church Christian Academy and exists to encourage homeschoolers in the coastal region of South Carolina and Georgia. This non-profit, volunteer-run conference is geared to every-day families who would like to educate their children at home. Our heart is to reach out to our community and offer resources, encouragement and help to those who homeschool or who are interested in homeschooling.

After successfully holding book sales for several years, God put it on our hearts to try having speakers to help homeschoolers renew and refocus for the new homeschooling year. This is our sixth conference and we are excited about what God has planned for the future.

This year our conference includes – Steve Demme of Building Faith Families and founder of Math-U-See – Keynote * Intro to Homeschooling – Dr. Carl Broggi * Constitution Class – Bob Menges * Featured Speaker – Tim Bryant * and many other Workshops! BOOK Blast – Used Curriculum Sale * Vendor Hall – New Curriculum Sales * Come and see for yourself!  Register today at –  http://checonference.com/registration/!

BOOK Blast Bucks Drawing – Register & Enter Books by Friday @ Midnight

You could win a $15.00 BOOK Blast Certificate if you are registered for CHEC and have started entering your books by midnight tonight!

All used book sellers who are registered and have started entering their books will be entered into the drawing! We will announce the winner on Saturday!

The BOOK Blast is a non-profit, volunteer used curriculum sale that is undertaken each year as a ministry to the coastal homeschooling community. Used curriculum sales like this enable families to be able to afford to give their children a high quality education at home.

When you buy and sell used, you save money and bless others too!

You do not need to be a member of Community Bible Church or of CBCCA in order to be a BOOK Blast participant.

The BOOK Blast runs on Friday from 9 until 3 and on Saturday from  9 until noon.

On Saturday from 2:00 – 4:00 pm you must come pick up your unsold books.

The last day for people to enter items into the BOOK Blast system is Tuesday, June 11th at midnight.

 Call Sheryl Duffy at 812-2820 or email duffydsr@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Whether you wish to buy or sell, each participant must register for the conference.

This includes entry into Friday and Saturday’s CHEC including the BOOK Blast, Vendor Hall, Keynote  and all workshops. We hope that you will choose this year to go to our informative workshops and be encouraged by fellow homeschoolers in addition to getting great deals on curriculum!
