We are The Mom Community —MomCo for short.

You can read more about MomCo on their website: www.themom.co.

MomCo is a non-profit organization that encourages and equips moms of young children to realize their potential as mothers, women and leaders, in relationship with Jesus and in partnership with the local church.

MomCo — then, simply known as MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)—was founded in 1973 when seven women in Colorado invited moms to meet regularly to grow together as women, parents, and leaders, with the ultimate goal of reaching women with the hope of Jesus. Today, the small gathering they called MOPS now extends to 101+ countries, 25 languages, 72,000+ meetings a year and influences over a million moms annually.

Nope, and definitely not! You can start coming at any point in the year, and you can skip a meeting, anytime. Life happens. We get it. However, if you do pay for the whole semester or the entire year, those fees are nonrefundable, as is your MomCo International fee. We do think you’ll love it so much that you won’t want to miss out on our first meeting, or last meeting, or any meetings in between.

Our local MomCo group is open to women of any age from when they’re pregnant with their first child until their youngest turns 18! While MomCo is a faith-based organization, our group is open to women from any religious background.

Yes, your children are welcome at MomCo! Our kind, background-checked KidsCo volunteers will make sure your children are well cared for. Those past the baby stage will enjoy a snack and simple activities such as singing, doing crafts, playing in the playroom.

If your child ends up needing you during our meeting time, one of our wonderful KidCo staff will come and let you know.

You’ll be greeted at the door by our helpers, who will welcome you and give you a name tag. While your kids are enjoying friend time, you will too! You’ll walk into the meeting space and check in at the registration table, where you’ll see nicely decorated tables to sit at and enjoy a cup of hot coffee without interruption and chat with other moms.

We always have a great breakfast buffet and hot coffee.

We get to hear all different kinds of speakers present on a topic that relates to our stage of life.

Most weeks, we divide into discussion groups, where we can get to know other moms on a more personal level and discuss what we are learning and how we’re growing. Quarterly, we also get to do a fun craft—without any little helping hands!

At the end of our time, we’re dismissed to go pick up our kids and hear about the fun they’ve had, see their crafts, and leave refreshed and ready to embrace our crazy lives with renewed joy!

Absolutely! If your child is under 6 months old, you’re welcome to keep him or her with you. MomCo is a nursing-friendly environment, and many moms wear their babies or let them play on the floor. Many of our mentor moms whose kids are past the baby stage are often eager to help you have some hands-free time, if you would like!

We schedule play dates on non-MomCo weeks and have Mom’s Night Out activities in the evenings, about once a month.
