HI MAMA!
We know how much you work, how much you pour into your family, how much you worry. We know you’re probably exhausted. We know you need a break.
We get it.
Join a Moms Nation group and find your mom squad. We are better together.
Moms of Littles
(Expectant mothers – parenting kindergarten)
Sleepless nights with infants, the endless energy of toddlers and the big feelings of three-nagers all wear on you. Let us pour you a hot cup of coffee and dish you up a meal while we are encouraged by speakers hand-picked to help us through the early years of parenting.
Moms in the Middle
(Parenting elementary through high school)
Parenting school-aged kids brings on a brand new kind of tired. Juggling schedules, playing taxi driver to extracurricular activities, monitoring homework assignments and navigating technology leaves us mentally drained. Pull up a chair as we hear from speakers who offer wisdom in navigating these middle years and share laughter and find sisterhood with moms who are in the thick of it with you.
Moms Nation @
(Parenting in all stages)
No matter the stage you’re currently in, join this multi-generational community of moms who seek to encourage each other as we raise the next generation. Whether you are rocking a baby of your own or your kids are grown and flown and you’re rocking grandbabies, every stage and season is welcome here!
We Can’t Wait to Meet You!
Come see what we’re all about! We’d love to welcome you to a meeting and get to know you. Your first meeting is free, just let us know you’re coming to visit!

Moms Nation FAQs
Question About Registration
New things can be scary! If you want to test out a group before you join, please just let us know you’re coming by sending an email to Moms@WeAreFaith.org.
If you’d like to join after attending your first meeting, we do ask that you submit your registration.
The annual fee for Moms of Littles is $119 and includes a participant experience kit and attendance at all of your meetings, which include speakers, activities and crafts. Additionally, your fee helps cover a portion of childcare costs.
Moms in the Middle and Moms Nation @ is $80 annually and includes a participant experience kit and attendance at all of your meetings, which include speakers, activities, and crafts. If you need to utilize childcare, an additional one-time fee of $30 applies.
Those looking for budget friendly payment plans will find the option to make two payments (one at the beginning of the year and the second at the start of the second semester, after the new year).
We never want finances to be a hindrance. If you are in need of a full or partial scholarship in order to attend, please apply confidentially here.
Questions About Meetings
No church affiliation or religious background is required to attend any Moms Nation group.
Moms Nation groups launch in September and wrap up in May.
Each of our groups support moms through sharing a meal, devotions, prayer,
hearing from speakers, participating in activities like crafts and games, and
engaging in authentic small group discussions.
Participants are encouraged to
deepen friendships through social get togethers outside of meetings.
Questions About Childcare
Childcare is available for children infant through five-years-old. Children are placed into rooms based on their age where they spend their time with similarly aged peers and play in age-appropriate rooms for the duration of the meeting.
We all love a good baby snuggle! We know how important that mom and baby bond is and we welcome you to keep newborns and infants with you until they are six months old. Once your child reaches this age, we find they tend to become more active and can present a distraction to you as well as the other moms in the group. In order to honor that break that all moms need, we encourage you to please utilize our amazing childcare.
Most groups are able to accommodate homeschool children. Please contact Moms Nation Kids Director Trish Miller to confirm availability for your school-aged children prior to registering.
General Questions
Moms Nation strongly believes in the value of sharing a meal. Because of this, each of our meetings includes a potluck meal. If you have food allergies, you will have the opportunity to indicate those at the time of registration and your group leaders will be alerted to those accommodations.
While we make reasonable attempts to accommodate food allergies and have options for all participants. In the event we are unable to make accommodations for your specific needs, a leader will have a conversation with you. Additionally, if you have severe or life-threatening food allergies, we encourage you to bring your own food or eat prior to attending to best ensure your health and safety.
If you have questions or concerns regarding the handling of food allergies, please reach out to moms@WeAreFaith.org.
Groups often continue to gather for play dates, moms’ night out, and other activities and gatherings over the summer. Follow Moms Nation at Faith Church on Facebook and Instagram as well as MomsNation.org for details for upcoming Moms Nation events.
Summer Meet Ups are free events (unless otherwise noted) hosted by our groups designed to spend time with friends and invite new friends in. If you want to come check us out and meet some of our moms, we welcome you to join us. There is no registration, so just show up!
