Mission Statement


A Mother's Heart is a ministry where we provide an opportunity for home schooling families to connect and share the gifts God has given them. We want to encourage and support each other in our common effort to educate our children. We know that it is only through God's grace that our children will grow in love and knowledge. We gather to glorify God by giving our children an environment of believers in Jesus Christ that will encourage them in their faith and education. We operate in agreement with the doctrine of Desert Springs Church (DSC), but are open to all families. We offer a setting where families come together and partner with one another in fellowship, love, and humility.
