Christian Home Education Fellowship (CHEF) of
Alabama exists to promote and encourage Christian home education for
the glory of God.
Whether you are thinking about homeschooling, just beginning
homeschooling, or are a veteran homeschooler, we exist to encourage,
inspire, and equip you.
Refreshing fall temperatures proclaim a celebration that seasons do
indeed change in Alabama. As the cool crisp air announces the
changing seasons, CHEF also has changes to announce. The CHEF of
Alabama 2011 Homeschool Convention and Curriculum Fair will be held
June 23-24 at Gardendale First Baptist Church, in Gardendale,AL.
Gardendale is in the Birmingham metropolitan area, about a ten
minute drive north from downtown Birmingham on I 65.
We apologize for any inconvenience that changing the dates of the
convention from May to June might have caused. We hope you can and
will join us at Gardendale First Baptist on June 23 & 24, 2011 for
our annual convention and at Sumatanga for our fall retreat either
in late September or early October of 2011.
The Christian Home Education Fellowship of Alabama was formed in
1988 with the mission to encourage home educators by providing
information and resources and to promote a safe legal environment
for home schooling in Alabama.
CHEF is a nonprofit
corporation under IRC § 501(c)(4). That means we are organized as a
community development organization with emphasis in education from
the Christian perspective. This type of organization allows us to
provide services as a nonprofit tax-exempt entity while giving us
the freedom to speak to legislative and public policy issues that
might affect our constituency. We accept donations as a non-profit
organization, but these donations are not tax deductible because of
our § 501(c)(4) status.
CHEF is governed by a self-perpetuating volunteer board of veteran
home educators from across Alabama. Each family unit on the board
has been active in local leadership for a number of years and brings
to the board a wealth of experience in Christian home education.
