5 Essentials to Consider Before You Begin
Step Into Your Calling

Step Into Your Calling *
Starting a homeschool network is more than launching a group—it’s stepping into a calling. Whether God is stirring your heart to gather a few families or to build a larger online community, this page will help you reflect, prepare, and take your first steps with clarity and grace.
These five essentials are lessons I’ve learned through experience, and I offer them to you as a fellow builder in the Kingdom.
THE 5 ESSENTIALS
1. Clarify the Vision God Has Given You
What kind of community are you called to build—local, online, hybrid?
Is the goal support, discipleship, shared learning, or all of the above?
Write down your "why" and prayerfully commit it to the Lord.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” —Psalm 127:1
2. Know Your Role (and What You're Not Called to Do)
Are you called to teach? Facilitate? Organize? Shepherd?
You don’t have to do everything. God brings others to help.
Reflection: Where do you feel most energized? Planning, mentoring, or creating?
3. Start Small & Build With Intention
You don’t need a crowd to begin. Start with a few families.
Focus on building a foundation of trust, grace, and clarity.
Tip: Use Mighty Networks to keep communication simple and central.
4. Choose a Platform That Matches Your Mission
You need a space for families to connect without distractions.
We use Mighty Networks because it combines groups, events, courses, and resources in one place.
Don’t juggle email, texts, and Facebook groups. Find a tool that grows with your vision.
5. Stay Grounded in Grace
You will face challenges. Not every idea will work. That’s okay. Lead out of rest, not stress, and trust the process.
“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” —Galatians 6:9
