Motherhood is truly one of the most beautiful and fulfilling callings from the Lord! Moms Connect is a place of spiritual growth, belonging, connection, and support for mothers.

What is Moms Connect?

We are a volunteer-led group where moms gather several times a month to find spiritual community and support.

What to expect:

Each 75–90-minute gathering includes refreshments, a short teaching, and table discussions, with a focus on celebrating and empowering moms.

How much does it cost?

This is a free group for all mothers. A suggested donation of $5.00 per meeting or $60.00 for the year helps cover essential costs like childcare and offset the expenses of facilitating the group (gifts/prizes, coffee, water, curriculum, leader training, child snacks, and group activities); however, this donation is not required.
