Last year, I almost didn’t survive January. Cold, cloudy days. Seemingly endless rain and snow. So many days indoors with bottled-up energy and no place to use it. It was rough. Now that I know a little better, my best defense against January is Book....

We are excited to let you know how things are moving forward!
Legacy Homeschool Resource Center is a place where homeschool families can find a supportive community to join them in educating and discipling the next generation of Christ-followers.
Modeled after Jay and Heidi St. John’s successful organization, Firmly Planted HRC, our dream is to plant a center right here in the heart of Middle Tennessee.
LHRC exists to equip and connect homeschooling families. From classes, to counseling, to coffeeshop talks, we intend to empower families at every stage of homeschooling.
Our partners are passionate about seeing children excel in their God-given talents and empowering families who choose homeschooling. Legacy HRC is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax deductible.
We are so much more than a location for classes, we are a community. We desire to see every parent supported and every student flourishing.
