  • What is MOMCO?

    We are The Mom Community — MomCo  for short


    As a Mom Community, 

    • We raise our kids and one another.
    • We boldly elevate motherhood.
    • We embrace the unexpected and imperfect.
    • We understand our direction is more important than our speed.
    • We celebrate often and loudly.
    • We know every mom has a place with us.
    • We follow Jesus and invite others to journey with us.

    Here at MomCo (formerly MOPS and Mothers of Preschoolers), we're on a mission to celebrate motherhood and embrace the journey together. MomCo exists to meet the needs of every mom — stay at home, working, single, and married.


    Motherhood is complicated. Mom friends help. Our group includes moms from pregnancy through their children’s early childhood and middle school years, and is a place for friendship, community, support, faith and growth.

  • MOMCO 2025-2026 Theme: "MAKE IT AWKWARD"

    MomCo 2025-2026 | This is the year we choose awkward. In a world that prizes polish, we’re reclaiming the charm of vulnerability. Awkwardness isn’t weakness — it’s authenticity, and it’s where connection begins. Moms often feel unseen, but when we show up as our real selves, fear loses its grip and relationships deepen. In Luke 5:4–7, we’re reminded that obedience — even when it feels uncomfortable — leads to abundance. This year, we’ll lean into four cornerstones: owning our story, speaking kindness, practicing audacious faith, and embracing joy. Let’s get awkward … in the best way.
