In 1996 Sylvia Britton began an online ministry called  The 20th Century Christian Homekeeper.  That ministry grew out of her heart to serve and offer help women whom God has called to serve Him in their homes.  As that ministry grew and expanded, and enjoyed slightly different names like The 21st Century HomeKeeper and finally, The Christian HomeKeeper, God continued to bless and use it for His glory.

After 25 years online and raising 5 children, running a bakery, home educating, mentoring and serving in her local Church, today Sylvia is doing a bit more resting and enjoying grandchildren. She posts when she has inclination but her in-box is always open for questions and prayer requests. She is also very active in the CHK Message Board.

Sylvia Britton, Founding Administrator. Sylvia and her husband Mark live in Tennessee    and have been married since 1980. They are the parents of 5 children, grandparents to 3, and have educated their children at home since 1990. Sylvia began working in online ministry in 1996 with Christian HomeKeeper and the Christian HomeKeeper message board.

It was at Vacation Bible School in 1969 that she met the Lord Jesus and was saved to a life in Him. She has been a Bible teacher for 32 years and has taught Kindergarden through the elderly. Presently, the Lord is also using Sylvia as music director in her local church. Of all the roles that God has placed in her life, she cherishes that of wife, mother and grandmother most deeply.

She enjoys reading, mentoring women, writing articles for several magazines, gardening, Bible study and creating a peaceful holy home. God has given Sylvia the gifts of wisdom and administration and she has found a wonderful outlet for those gifts at Christian HomeKeeper.    Follow Sylvia on Google+.   Join the CHK Facebook Group.  Follow Sylvia on Twitter.

Wardee Harmon, Technical Administrator. Wardeh (‘Wardee’) lives in Oregon with her husband and three children. They live on five and a half gorgeous wooded acres, which they are in the process of turning into a productive homestead.

Wardee’s passions are sewing garments and healthy cooking, although she loves to create just anything from scratch, should the mood hit right. These activities might include creating and preparing wholesome, nutritious meals; gardening; sewing garments or home decor; quilting; reading books about nutrition or crafts; knitting; crocheting; reading great books to her children; making soap; or teaching her children a new craft.

Wardee loves to share what she’s learning and creating with other women. She hopes that her contributions to the CHK ministry will bless your heart and home. Wardee blogs and teaches about traditional cooking at GNOWFGLINS.
