The following is a list of events the Christian Homeschool Network will be hosting, or participating in. It is very important for us to meet fellow homeschoolers and discuss issues important to you. We also enjoy sharing our vision for CHN along with the knowledge we have acquired of important issues within the homeschool community.

We look forward to meeting each one of you. It is an honor to serve you! Scott and DiAnna Brannan, founders of CHN.

 Note: CHN’s participation in a certain event does not mean we support or agree with the group, but that we are willing to participate or speak to the group on behalf of CHN for the benefit of the attendees.
