Criteria for Membership
We make no apology for the fact that we are a distinctly Bible-believing, born again Christian group.  Therefore, in order to join our group, you will be asked to provide us with:
1.    A brief testimony of your salvation experience
2.    The name and address of your Pastor so we can send him a recommendation form for your family. (If you are unable to do this, please contact us for an alternative).
3.    Sign your agreement to our Statement of Faith in its entirety
4.    Sign your agreement to abide by our dress and conduct policy

If after reading the above, you would like to request our official membership application, please send your request to Linda Bowers at grleah14@yahoo.com or 585-392-8073.

Hopefully, this has answered your basic questions regarding involvement in Greater Rochester LEAH.  Whether or not you decide to join our LEAH Chapter, we pray that God will richly bless you in your home schooling ministry.
