What is MomCo?
The MomCo is short for The Mom Community.
There are more than 3,900 MomCo groups meeting across the United States, and in 35 countries around the world. MomCo groups meet regularly to celebrate the joys of motherhood and to encourage one another through its challenges.
Guiding Principles
The MomCo groups are chartered through local faith-based organizations, including churches and other ministries. While each group is different, the MomCo program is built on several foundational principles:
-
Welcoming to all Women: We’ve all been placed in this time and place in history, as the tribe of women raising the world. And the beauty is we don’t have to all agree with one another but everyone is in, and we need each other.
-
Mentoring: Sometimes we need a mature woman who has been there, done that, to bounce ideas off of. That’s why we love our mentor moms, they have sage advice and willing ears.
-
Honest Conversation: Real talk is liberating. It frees us from assumptions that we are alone in our struggles.
-
Relevant Teaching: We provide hope filled, inspired speakers to encourage us as mothers and give us new tools to use in our role as Mom.
-
Leadership Development: Women who are involved in The MomCo gain confidence in their leadership skills through the training and experience they receive from MomCo.
What We Do
-
Discussion: The intimate and accepting atmosphere of a small group offers moms a chance to share their successes, failures, questions, and concerns. It is during these times that a mom realizes that she is not alone, and lifelong friendships are formed.
-
Teaching: Topics presented at MomCo Meetups celebrate motherhood and meet a mom’s unique needs during this season of life.
-
Creative Activities: Through creative projects and crafts, women are encouraged to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes with trying and finishing new things.
-
KidsCo: During MomCo Meetups, children are cared for in a program called KidsCo, where they experience love in a preschool-like setting.
