I don't think it's a bad decision to home school your child. In fact if you are able to I think that's much better for children than putting them in public schools. There are tons of benefits to home schooling your child. The public school system is far from perfect and very ineffective way to get children interested in learning. I mean the issue with home schooling is you have to deal with educating your child and it can be frustrating at times and it can be costly to do so.

Just because your daughter isn't in public school doesn't mean she won't have opportunities to be in public, that idea is absolutely ridiculous. Just like you said, she goes to church, and when she's older you may want to consider sending her for lessons in ballet, piano, karate, or whatever she seems interested in, just so that she can socialize with people her age and on her own.

Awesome article about some benefits about home schooling and social adjustment.
