Who is ENOCH?

ENOCH (Education Network of Christian Homeschoolers of New Jersey) is an organization which consists of like-minded Christians dedicated to observethe Biblical commands of Deuteronomy 6:4-10, Proverbs 22:6 and Ephesians 6:4. We promote home education as the scriptural design for education, whereas institutional education is the alternative to the home. We believe that every family has the God-given, legal and constitutional right to home education in the state of New Jersey, regardless of their philosophy of education or religious affiliation.

ENOCH....

* ...Does not set home education policy or guidelines.
* ...Does not run or direct home school support groups.
* ...Does not govern any other group or organization in New Jersey.
* ...Does not provide legal counsel, but information about home school
law and where legal services may be obtained.

ENOCH's Beginning

* ENOCH was formed in 1989 by a small group of Christian home educators that reside in New Jersey.
* ENOCH was incorporated in 1993 in the state of New Jersey.
* ENOCH is a service-oriented, not-for-profit, volunteer ministry dedicated to serving the home education community in the State of New Jersey.
* Being a non-profit 501c(3) tax exempt organization, we provide service to all who contact us the best we can.

Why was ENOCH created?

A group of home educators recognized the many difficulties associated with seeking basic information pertaining to Home Education. It became clear that access to information and support should be made available to all home educators in the most efficient manner possible. As a result ENOCH was formed.

Mission Statement

Living Water Home Educators is composed of homeschool families in Burlington County, NJ and surrounding areas who come together to support one another. Each family that homeschools is an independent, private school that has the freedom to install the beliefs and values that we, the parents, feel are most important to our children. Since this group is not affiliated with any one particular church, we feel it is important for you to know where the leadership of this group stands so that you can feel comfortable participating in the activities and events we offer.
