Both children were homeschooled from the first grade through High School.The eldest, Steven, has graduated from Berklee College of Music with a degree in Music Production and has launched a music production company. The younger, Cameron, has been studying Japanese the last three years and making preparations to serve for two months in Japan in 2026 and building a business. Both children are active in church and serve on the worship team. Christian is an excellent teacher of God’s Word who serves in the women’s ministry.\n\n\n\n\nPastor Jeff Klick of Hope Family Fellowship. Jeff has been in full-time ministry since 1981 and planted Hope Family Fellowship in 1993. He and Leslie taught their three children at home beginning in 1981. God has blessed them with over 50 years of marriage, fourteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren so far. Pastor Jeff loves Jesus, the Word of God, and has a passion for helping to restore both to the family. Pastor Jeff has written twelve books and has a Doctorate in Bible Studies and a PhD in Pastoral Ministry.\n\n\n\nEnter your name to win one of several prize drawings, including a signed copy of Gospel Legacy by local pastor Dr. Jeffrey Klick, and a bundle of Steve Demme‘s Hymns for Family Worship!\n\n[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”WORKSHOPS”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n\nPlease click here to see our list of 2026 workshop titles and a schedule.\n\nMany workshops directly connect with resources found in the vendor hall—be sure to visit vendors related to sessions you attend.\n\n\nNOTE: Download our free app for the most customizable, convenient experience!\n[/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”SPEAKERS”][nectar_btn size=”large” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”Click here to see our 2026 Conference Speakers.” margin_top=”20″ url=”https://midwesthomeschoolers.org/conference-speakers/” margin_bottom=”20″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”][/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=”medium” open_new_tab=”true” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” color_override=”#003a7a” icon_family=”none” text=”Our 2027 Speaker Application form is now open!” url=”https://midwesthomeschoolers.org/conference-workshop-speaker-opportunities/”][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”UNIQUE LEARNERS LEARNING SCREENINGS”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]In addition to our Unique Learners Workshop track, we offer learning screenings to equip parents to teach their unique students at home.

The MPE conference, however, is intended for parental enrichment. The general policy is that children under 13 not be in attendance at the conference workshop sessions (except nursing babies).\nThis is due to seating limitations and to keep potential disruptions to a minimum during workshops. As always, parental discretion should be used throughout the conference to preserve the conference experience for other attendees.\nMPE reserves the right to dismiss unruly attendees.\nMPE has made the following accommodations for children:\nAll children accompanied by parents are welcome in the Vendor Hall.\nNursing babies are welcome in the conference workshops. However, if your child is fussy or disruptive in any way, you should quietly exit the workshop so that the others will not be disturbed. A room will be available exclusively for mothers to nurse and diaper their babies.\nParents with children under 5 are encouraged to pre-arrange for child care in order to attend conference workshops.\nChildren between the ages of 5 and 12 can be enrolled in MPE Kids – Children’s Program.\nChildren age 13 and up are encouraged to attend the workshops and visit the Exhibitor Hall with their parents; they are admitted for free when accompanied by a parent at Registration.\nStrollers, wagons and other wheeled carriers are welcome in the Vendor Hall during the conference. However, strollers are not allowed in any of the workshop rooms, including the hallways. Please feel free to leave your stroller outside the Nursing Mother’s Room, which is near the Children’s Conference (MPEKIDS) Registration area. This area will not be monitored, so please do not leave any valuables with your stroller. We recommend baby carriers or backpacks to transport nursing babies.\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”YOUTH VOLUNTEERS”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Homeschooled students and graduates ages 13 and up are invited to volunteer either as part of our Youth Leadership Team (YLT) or with the MPEKids program.\nClick here for more information on youth volunteer positions\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/toggle][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”ADULT VOLUNTEERS”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Interested in partnering with us to bring a great Conference to the Midwest?
