We’re pleased to host our second Homeschool Group Leaders Retreat this fall! All active leaders (and their spouses) of homeschool groups who are currently part of the CHEC homeschool group network are invited.
Come for a relaxing weekend on the lovely Glen Eyrie grounds while fellowshipping with old and new friends. Group sessions will feature ice-breaker activities, networking, round-table discussions, speakers sharing on relevant topics, and more. (Click here to view photos from last year.)
CHEC is able to cover more than 50% of the actual cost of this event because of the generosity of families and business who support our ministry financially. We would like to give a special thanks to the Homeschool Family Alliance for sponsoring this year’s retreat.

Speakers
Greg Thurston was born and raised in Colorado. At the age of 18 he was brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ while reading the book of Romans (truly, God’s word is living an active, Heb. 4:12). He received a degree in history from Colorado State University where he met and wed his wife, Janet. Following college, Greg and Janet moved to St. Louis, Missouri where Greg attended Covenant Theological Seminary. Greg has been in ministry for over a quarter century having served the Lord in three different congregations. Currently he is pastor at Bethel Presbyterian Church in Broomfield, Colorado. Together, Greg and Janet enjoy spending time with their six children, playing games, going on walks, reading, and fellowshipping with God’s people.
