In 2016, our family’s world shifted forever. After the loss of my son Peyton, God began stirring a new calling in my heart. In the midst of deep grief, He drew my attention back to what mattered most—faith, family, and the blessing of walking with children through everyday life. My husband and I prayed for a place where we could root our family and open our doors in service to others. In 2017, the Lord led us to this property, and soon after, families began gathering here for encouragement, fellowship, and shared discipleship.

​

What started as a handful of parents meeting together around God’s Word has grown into a ministry community. Here, children aren’t “students” in a classroom, but young souls discovering how to love God, love others, and grow through hands-on experiences of life and service. Together, families share meals, serve side by side, and create spaces where faith is lived out in real time.

​

Homeschooling has long been part of my story. I, Mikki, have walked this road for more than 25 years, and now, alongside other mentors, we share decades of combined experience—not as teachers over children, but as fellow believers pointing them toward Christ. We’ve seen the fruit that comes when families walk shoulder to shoulder, lifting one another up and celebrating the unique ways God made each child.

​

Anchor is not an institution; it is a testimony. A testimony of God’s ability to bring beauty from ashes, to turn an open home into a place of refuge, and to weave together families who encourage one another in faith, service, and joy.
