“The Mom Factor” by The Barna Group and MomCo illustrates why moms matter so much to the church and how church leadership can better support them.
More than half of teens age 13-17% trust mom first with questions about faith or spirituality
Among practicing Christians, 78% say their mother modeled a strong Christian faith; similarly, 57% of all US adults say the same.
Moms who feel seen and understood by their church leaders are more actively involved in church, by almost two-thirds, or 64%.
Among moms who attend church or claim a Christian faith, only 44% of single moms and 50% of married moms feel equipped to disciple their children by the church.

MomCo is daring women to dream again in a culture of cynicism. Filled with bright, passionate leaders who are compelled by the way of Jesus, we're committed to sharing the Gospel in winsome, honest ways. While the work we do is dead serious, we aren't. We model our programming after Jesus, who was playful in spirit, ate with sinners and yet took sin seriously, and washed the feet of the person who was about to betray Him. We want to bless our neighbors, train leaders to share their faith, and be part of God's spiritual renewal and transformation in the world. We combine community, curriculum, coaching, and Scripture to activate moms in their purpose. This is where motherhood meets kingdom calling.
Nope. MomCo weaves spiritual truth, leadership development, practical tools, and a lot of fun. Think: Jesus + masterclasses + life-changing friendship.
We offer world-class leadership training, personal coaching, a done-for-you curriculum, marketing tools, tech support, a private leader portal, and ongoing encouragement from a nationwide network of leaders. You’re never doing this alone.
MomCo meets moms where they are—offering a grace-filled space that leads to profound transformation. Through biblically-based curriculum, intergenerational mentorship, and community, moms grow in their faith and become catalysts for outreach in their homes, schools and neighborhoods. Many women who come to MomCo have no biblical literacy, so we start at the beginning. Many groups offer additional off-week opportunities, including 'Bible Basics', a 6-week gathering to discuss:
- What is the Bible?
- What does it say about God?
- How do I find my way around the Bible?
- Looking at the backstory: Are the Bible documents reliable?
- Who was Jesus?
- What did Jesus teach?
- What's the deal with the Holy Spirit?
- How does the Bible affect my life?
The MomCo hosts meetings in 112 countries and 30 different languages worldwide.
Yes. MomCo embodies a confident orthodox Christianity, where we are less interested in debating our neighbors and more interested in serving them in tangible ways. We believe God provides a kingdom ethic that transcends time, cultures, and political affinities. MomCo is a Gospel-centered ministry that partners with over 90+ Christian traditions. We equip leaders to lead in alignment with your church's values and theology.

We ask for a $499 fee to cover the cost of chartering a group – that includes getting you through the launch process, ongoing training and coaching for your leaders, and getting your group access to the library of curriculum. But if money’s tight, don’t stress. Just give us a call—we’ve got you.
We’ll help you get started for free if needed. Annual renewal is $229/year, that fee helps us create amazing content, support leaders, and keep this movement going strong. Many groups fundraise or share the cost with a membership dues, or you can talk to your host church about helping to support your group.
MomCo provides extensive training for church leaders and volunteers to ensure that your mom ministry is effective and sustainable. See our Leadership Training Overview for all that we offer in our signature training!
All it takes is one mom to start a MomCo group, but it's always more fun with a team. We recommend recruiting at least one more person to get started with, and your team can grow with your group as more moms become invested in it.
The average leader invests 4-8 hours monthly during the active season. But with MomCo's plug-and-play resources, leaders don't have to build anything from scratch.
Click here to see what a typical MomCo meeting looks like.
Every year, MomCo creates new curriculum, meeting plans, and activities that provide leaders with a full year of meeting plans and content. We tackle the real stuff moms are talking about—the things they whisper to each other on the side-lines of their kid's soccer games, text about in the middle of the night, and wonder about silently in their hearts. Our curriculum is honest, practical and faith-centered.
Each session invites deep connection, spiritual reflection and practical tools for everyday life. No fluff. No shame. Just what moms are really looking for. See more about our curriculum here.
Membership gives moms access to the full curriculum, app, resources, discounts, and online community. It's their passport to belonging, growth, and purpose—all that for only $37 a year!
MomCo 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.
Read more about who we are here.
Founded in 1973. This isn't theory—it's legacy.
In the early 70s, a group of 5 moms decided to start a group at their church for moms and called it MOPS, short for Mothers of Preschoolers. Since then, it has grown into a movement that reaches 3 million moms a year in 109 countries and 30 languages. God uses our small “yes”-es to expand the kingdom in profound ways.
In 2023, we rebranded from MOPS to MomCo. Read about our rebrand here.
We'll give you tools to promote your group locally and tips to reach moms in your city. Word of Mom spreads fast. It's ok to start small and grow from there. Many groups grow from 5 to 50 moms in their first year.
Great question! There are 2.2 billion moms worldwide, with 85 million just in the U.S. There are so many moms who need to hear about Jesus! Multiple groups in a city help grow all the groups, because moms spread the word, and when there is a waiting list at one group, moms will look for a different group to attend. Another opportunity is to host your meeting at a different time. If another group hosts their meeting in the morning, host yours in the evening to reach moms needing an alternative day or time.
Some groups meet on weekday mornings (with childcare), but evenings and weekends work great too—especially for working moms. Choose what works best for you and the moms you’re inviting.
Most groups meet twice a month. Many pause during the summer. It's flexible. Whatever time you choose, moms will come.
It's not required, but oftentimes, offering childcare = increased attendance.
If you are hosting this group at a church:
Groups that are hosted in a church are encouraged to work with the church’s finance team to agree on a system, whether the MomCo group can be a line item on the church’s budget, or the group holds its own finances as a Leadership Team. It can be easier to access bank accounts when it is done through the church. The group can fund itself by turning in any fundraising proceeds and member dues to the church, and handling its expenses with check requests. Often, the church has worked with other ministry groups and already has an established process for this, or advice how it has worked well in the past. Whatever your group decides, you’ll find support in your Cohort with answers to your questions and examples from well established MomCo Leaders!
If you are hosting this group at your house or in the community:
It will be important to plan your group’s budget based on the annual renewal fee plus expenses you expect to incur, such as for speaker fees, group supplies for hospitality or decorations, and activities such as crafts or games. You might also consider a small gift for your leaders at the end of the year. Your Cohort is your best resource as you think through all of the expenses you need to plan for!
We offer world-class leadership training, personal coaching, a done-for-you curriculum, marketing tools, tech support, a private leader portal, and ongoing encouragement from a nationwide network of leaders. You're never doing this alone.

Yes. Most of our leaders started just like you! We'll provide the tools, training and backup to help you lead with confidence.
Absolutely. Some of our best leaders are empty nesters or grandmothers. What matters most is a heart for moms and a willingness to create space for others to connect, grow, and meet Jesus.

- Meeting Activities that are relevant, hands-on, and never cringe.

- Bonus Material like curated reads, creative extras, and go-the-extra-mile ideas to help your group thrive.
Think of it as a plug-and-play experience that turns an ordinary meetup into a moment that matters.
Every year we have a theme that guides our conversations and content. It’s a big rallying point for groups all over the world. Check out our theme this year: https://www.themom.co/theme-reveal/
A team oversees the creation of curriculum content. It includes theologians, pastors, moms, and leaders. The process starts with prayer and fasting, asking God what He wants the focus to be for the year. From there, we choose a Bible passage that serves as the foundation of the theme and content creation.
Yes, for ongoing participation. But moms can visit before joining—no pressure.
All moms. Married, single, working, stay-at-home, new, seasoned, foster, adoptive—you name it. If she's a mom, she belongs here.
Our groups are for moms, but many events (like family nights or service projects) are open to Dads and kids.

Every month, 22,000+ moms search for a MomCo group—many of whom are looking for a church home. MomCo creates a welcoming, low-barrier entry point that helps moms take their first step toward faith. Hosting a MomCo group energizes your church by creating a vibrant community for families. When moms find connection, encouragement, and spiritual growth, their entire families are more likely to get involved in the life of your church. It's not just a ministry—it's a front door to deeper engagement.
Yes. 94% of MomCo churches report increased attendance and engagement, particularly among young families.
Less than 2 hours/month. Seriously.
It's a simple commitment to acknowledge MomCo's mission, values, and safety standards. We keep it clear, supportive, and easy to follow. Check it out here: [INSERT]
Yes—and we have millions of success stories to prove it. Read some of them below…
MomCo is what we consider a funnel ministry. It brings people into the church, and then many of them become full participants in the life of our church.
In the middle of a city that never slows down, MomCo became a sacred pause. It’s not just a program — it’s a movement of moms finding community, healing and Jesus. We’ve seen it light a fire in our church and neighborhood alike.
Our church is in the heart of the city, surrounded by noise, need and opportunity. MomCo gave us a way to meet moms where they are — busy, overwhelmed and craving connection. Now, they’re bringing their families and their faith journeys to our doorstep.
We used to pray for ways to reach more young families. Then MomCo walked in the door — and brought a community with it. It’s been the most effective outreach to millennial and Gen Z moms we’ve ever done.
In our community, moms are the anchors. MomCo honors that truth and gives them tools to lead, grow and gather. It’s not just about support — it’s about spiritual legacy. And that aligns with everything we stand for.
The beauty of MomCo is that it understands the heart of our church — it’s about helping people meet Jesus and learn how to follow Him. Hosting a group has reignited our women’s ministry and brought new faces into the fold.
When our church started a MomCo group, we expected child care and coffee. What we got was revival.
We’ve always said the church should be the village. MomCo is helping us live that out — raising up strong, faith-filled mothers who are shaping the next generation. It’s not just good for the church. It’s good for the culture.
MomCo is on the cutting edge of helping parents navigate the real challenges of raising kids in this day and age. They provide our congregation with incredible data on the state of moms, which our church uses not only in our MomCo program but in our family ministry as well. Families who experience MomCo programming are better equipped to weave meaningful faith conversations into their everyday lives. MomCo is creative and innovative in their approach to serving moms and kids. And they are modeling how to do effective outreach, as every woman is welcome at a MomCo group regardless of her faith background.
I was an atheist who decided to follow Jesus because of my MomCo group. What we have in common is that we are all navigating special needs parenting. Raising a child with special needs is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, and I was in a dark place when I joined MomCo. I am so grateful for this community of moms who have helped me become a better mom, regain my mental health and helped me find faith in Jesus. It has literally saved my life. Now my son and I are attending the church where my group meets, and it is the community I always longed for.
MomCo is at the forefront of evangelism to parents and kids. For a small church, MomCo has given us a BIG way to reach the young families in our community. The moms who come to MomCo have a passion for raising their kids with healthy, real faith. MomCo has become the biggest ministry of the church; it raises up leaders in the church, and even allows us to invest in the capital improvements of six educational rooms and a new modern playground for all the new families coming through our doors. It has a holistic impact and a multigenerational ministry.
I did not feel welcome in church/religious settings prior to MomCo because I was a single parent. The MomCo community helped me heal and feel welcome in the church. Now I am teaching my kids about Jesus, and we are facing life’s challenges with faith, hope and humor.
