Thank you so much for your
interest in Homeschoolers of Alpharetta. We
are an open organization with members from the community of Alpharetta, North
Fulton, and surrounding areas. Homeschoolers of Alpharetta is a ministry of Alpharetta First
United Methodist Church and is a Christian organization that upholds the
Christian lifestyle and beliefs, but we welcome families who do not currently share our faith.
The reason for our
group’s formation is to encourage families who homeschool in our community and
provide enrichment days and other fun activities for the children involved.
Please email dmule@mindspring.com
if you have more questions.
Our purpose is to encourage
and support all homeschooling families within our community of Alpharetta, North
Fulton, and surrounding areas as a ministry of Alpharetta First United Methodist
Church.
Our
Mission
Our mission is to provide
field trip opportunities, a web page for more information on homeschooling, play
dates, child enrichment days, classes, parent meetings to keep parents informed
on homeschooling news and events, as well as other opportunities and fun and
exciting homeschooling events.

Alpharetta
1st UMC is a safe sanctuary so all adults working with children on the church
campus are required to attend a Child Youth Protection training and complete a
background check. This will be held at the meeting in August and the new member
meeting in May. After that it is held periodically throughout the year at the
church. Then, each year, you will have to review the requirements for working
with the children but will not need a background check after the initial one is
complete.
3.
You will be asked to coordinate two activities during the year.
One activity should be a party or event at the church. For the other event, choose a Friday with nothing planned and get the
details for a field trip.
4.
In order to be placed on the email loop, you must officially join the
group.
