The findings challenge long-held assumptions about moms and show that they are notably underserved by the church. Congregations and organizations have much to gain if they intentionally represent, empower, and partner with mothers.1

THE MOMCO IS THE SOLUTION

As the largest outreach to moms in the world, The MomCo by MOPS International is a pioneering movement defined by thought leadership and an ability to understand the times.

We have watched for decades as the marketing industry harnesses the attention and influence of moms across every business sector. Major brands allocate time and resources to focus on strategically utilizing the influence of moms. What would it look like for the Church to take moms seriously as well?

At The MomCo, we believe reaching moms is exponential evangelism and key to bringing new families to church. When a mom comes to know Jesus, chances are her kids will, too. What we are seeing being sparked around the globe in the next Jesus movement is, once again, starting with one of the most overlooked groups of people: Moms.

Even as trust in the Church wavers for some, moms are particularly open to faith conversations and want to raise their kids with values and a spiritual underpinning. With this, the Church has a unique opportunity to provide practical, relevant programming and resources for parents, especially mothers.

As the largest outreach to moms in the world, The MomCo by MOPS International is a pioneering movement defined by thought leadership and an ability to understand the times. The MomCo extends to 72 countries, 20 languages, 72,000 meetings a year and influences over a million moms annually. Through these groups, in the last seven years, more than 49,000 women have decided to follow Christ.

Motherhood Today includes groundbreaking data challenging long-held assumptions about moms. Our hope is that this research will also help you unleash the latent potential of mothers in your church right now. May this be a new season of intentionally mobilizing the moms in your community. May women searching for hope flock to your church in droves. May you find joy as uncharted outreach methods take shape for and with moms, sparking a revival in your church and city as you. Amen, and let it be so.
