Welcome to LIGHT!

We are so glad that you found us!  LIGHT is an acronym which stands for Learning in Godly Homes Together.  We are a group of Christian families meeting together to provide support for each other as we homeschool our children.  Based primarily in the Sherwood area, our families come from Southwest Portland, Beaverton, Tigard, Tualatin, Wilsonville, Canby, Aurora, Newberg, and of course Sherwood.  We are not exclusive by location, all are welcome, but you might have to drive a bit more if you live further out of the core area we triangulate from.


We are a member driven group, so activities vary based upon what exciting things people decide to bring to the table.  During the school year, moms meet monthly for encouragement, fellowship and support. Activities for the children include field trips, attending cultural events like theater and symphony performances, service projects, PE class, art class, worship dance and other activities as the parents organize them.

With 50+ children being in Junior and Senior High, our youth enjoy activities led by families.  The kids enjoy being part of this strong youth group.  Our goal is to help our youth build lasting relationships and encourage them on their journey toward adulthood.
 
During the summer, we meet for park days at various parks in the Sherwood, Wilsonville, Tigard and Tualatin area.  These are fun and mostly unstructured times where the moms can fellowship while the children play. In September we kick off the school year with an all-family potluck with fun and games!

Any Christian homeschool family interested in joining LIGHT is welcome; and as consistent with most homeschool groups, we do ask that you agree to and sign our Code of Conduct and Statement of Faith.

If you have more questions, or are interested in joining this group, we look forward to meeting you!  Please contact lightleadership@gmail.com.
