FAMILY DISCIPLESHIP TRACK

The Family Discipleship Track is designed to encourage, inspire, connect, and equip everyone navigating the homeschooling journey. It is our heartfelt desire that each session will inspire you to keep your homeschool focused on this divine purpose. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, newlywed, single, teen, or child, all are welcome to participate in these sessions. Our goal is to provide meaningful insights and practical tools for everyone involved in homeschooling, fostering a strong sense of community and shared mission.

Even if you’re not currently homeschooling but are curious about what it entails, this conference is a great opportunity to explore. You'll hear firsthand experiences, gain valuable knowledge, and connect with seasoned homeschool families. Whether you're considering homeschooling in the future or simply want to learn more, attending will give you a well-rounded understanding of the journey, equipping you to make informed decisions.

KIDS CONFERENCE TRACK

The Kids Conference Track offers a variety of engaging opportunities for children and teens to grow in their faith and leadership skills. Children ages 5-12 will enjoy a fun-filled experience with drama, music, scripture memorization, object lessons, hands-on projects, and games. Teens can participate in the Leaders in Training program, where they’ll gain hands-on ministry experience and leadership skills, or serve as Student Leaders, helping teach and build relationships with younger children. Those with a love for little ones can volunteer in the nursery, and teens interested in drama can be part of the NFH production, Shalom, reinforcing the conference lessons through acting.

Step into ancient Apollonia, where the marketplace is buzzing, the wedding bells are ringing, and trouble is brewing just around the corner!

In “Shalom”, kids will be swept into a lively early church era drama packed with humor, music, and heart—complete with a grand magistrate wedding, a hilariously over-the-top town gossip, and a shocking thief-on-the-loose chase through the streets. But this isn’t just a story of excitement and celebration… it’s a story where everyday people discover that God is really involved in real life—right in the middle of spilled bread, busy market stalls, and unexpected friendships. Your kids will be laughing, leaning in, and leaving encouraged—because Jehovah truly is our peace, our healer, and our King forever
