  • 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. We welcome moms with little ones from birth to kindergarten, and expectant moms, for a place of friendship, community, support, faith, and growth.

  • MOMCO 2023-2024 Theme: "say yes"

    This year, we are going to say yes to befriending discomfort, being easily delighted, and being here now. 


    St. Paul's MomCo Meetup invites all moms and their children, aged five and under, for our 2023-2024 year! MomCo is about celebrating motherhood, meeting needs — yours! — making friends, and experiencing God's love.
