Our goals are to provide homeschool families with information, encouragement, and Christian relationships. WRCH is for those seeking to communicate and build support networks with other families who share like values. Involvement within the homeschool community is encouraged -- whether by sharing news, politics, or homeschool-related issues that may be helpful and pertinent to other families. WRCH serves to support Christian rights to speak freely without concern of offending those who do not share their Christian beliefs; however, because WRCH does not represent a particular Christian denomination, we encourage postings that respect those differences.

For those who do not share in this Statement of Belief, we encourage them to join one of the many wonderful support groups that are provided locally or nationally that might better suit his/her family's homeschooling needs.We welcome all Christians who are currently homeschooling or considering homeschooling, and look forward to growing in every area God would have us grow.
