Thank you for your interest in Greater Waco Christian Home Educators (GWCHE)!  We are a volunteer Christian support group dedicated to helping families who have chosen to educate their children at home.Please read the About Us page for complete information about our organization.

The calendar year for GWCHE is August 1st to July 31st.  General  meetings are usually held August, September, October, January, February, April and May.  General membership meetings are normally held on the third Thursday night of the month at Highland Baptist Church, 3014 Maple Ave., in Waco. Click here for map. Sign-in time is from 6:30-6:45 p.m.  The sign-in begins at 6:30 p.m.  The meetings start between 6:45 p.m-7:00P.M.

Our meetings are held in the Highland Baptist Church Fellowship Hall. Please park in the parking lot behind the Highland Office which is on Maple Avenue.  You may enter the parking on lot  30th street, circle around back of the buildings, and then through the cul de sac to enter the small parking lot behind the education building.  The Fellowship Hall is in the Education Building (up the outdoor flight of stairs).  Our GWCHE banner will be hung on the railing before each meeting.  After making your your way up the stairs, the Fellowship Hall is through the first door on the right.

Non-members are invited to come and observe one meeting before joining GWCHE.  However, we ask that you join GWCHE if you plan to attend additional meetings.  Dues will remain at the low price of $25, which allows you access to all GWCHE functions. Please note that there will no longer be a reduced fee for joining later in the year.

Various activities and field trips are scheduled throughout the school year.  Other benefits of membership include discount membership to the Home School Legal Defense Association and access to our office/resource library.
