  • 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 2026-2027 Theme: "GOOD COMPANY"

    MomCo 2026-2027 | This year our theme, Good Company, centers on the idea that women thrive when they are surrounded by people who encourage, uplift, and walk alongside them. The theme invites moms to cultivate meaningful friendships, create spaces of belonging, and experience the joy that comes from being known and supported in community.

  • what to expect at a MOMCO Meetup

    • Brunch | Enjoy delicious dishes and coffee.
    • Keynote Speakers | Be inspired and encouraged in topics such as parenting, marriage, faith, health, and home life.
    • Small Groups | Talk with other moms at your table and nurture new friendships.
    • Mentor Moms | Learn from mothers of older children who offer the voice of experience.
    • Childcare | During a meetup, children enjoy their own Bible stories, snacks, crafts, music, and playtime with our qualified and loving caregivers.
    • Other Meetup Activities | Enjoy crafts, spa day, tea and testimony, service projects, fundraisers, care-and-share table, birthday recognition, and more.

  • what to expect throughout the month

    • Playdates | A chance to get together with moms and children at parks, playgrounds, museums, and other St. Louis attractions.
    • Moms' Nights Out |Fun evenings without the children at various locations around town.
    • Family Events | Seasonal, local events for the whole family — dads included!
    • Book Club | Dinner out in a restaurant every other month to discuss a selected book.
    • Facebook | Our private group page that shares ideas, resources, questions, and invitations with the members of St. Paul's MomCo.

  • where and when and how much?

    The MomCo at St. Paul's meets the first and third Thursdays from September to May in St. Paul's Fellowship Hall from 9:00  to 11:00 a.m.


    Dues in the amount of $130 are collected at the beginning of the year in September and cover childcare, speakers, supplies, printing, refreshments, and all the other things necessary to sustain our group. These dues include the annual MomCo International fee, which registers you to participate in MomCo anywhere in the United States and includes a welcome packet, gift, weekly e-letter and other helpful resources.
