Our 2026 Theme: “The Education Battleground: Equipping Parents for Such a Time as This”
We are in a defining moment — spiritually, culturally, and legislatively. Parents across Illinois have watched the battle intensify, from attacks on homeschool freedoms to policies that undermine biblical truth and parental authority.
CHES 2026 kicks off with a Banquet Night on Friday, March 27, from 6–8 PM—an evening of inspiration, fellowship, and vision. Then join us for the Full Summit Saturday, March 28, from 8 AM–6 PM (registration begins at 7 AM) with speakers, workshops, exhibitors & more!

Dynamic Keynote Speakers addressing today’s urgent issues in education and parental rights.

Exhibitors & Resources offering tools for homeschooling, discipleship, and biblical civic engagement.
