Moms in the Making exists to support and encourage women on their journey to becoming a mom by sharing the hope and truth of God’s Word. One way we accomplish this mission is by hosting support groups, which meet twice a month. Our Moms in the Making groups are for married women who, in partnership with their husband, are looking to expand their family. Whether you are taking a natural approach or pursuing treatments, adoption, foster care or a different route, you are welcome.
Our heart is to have a Moms in the Making group in every city, but since we don’t yet, we offer virtual groups for those women who don’t yet have any local support. Our virtual groups follow a similar format and cover the same curriculum as our local in-person groups. We kindly ask that if you have an in-person group within 30 miles of you, you get plugged in locally as our heart is for in-person interaction, and spots are limited for our virtual groups. You can learn more about each group as well as register below. If you have any questions about why there is a cost to register, you can visit our FAQ’s here.
Do you have a miracle baby at home? We encourage you to join one of our four Moms Made support groups so you can connect with other women who are also in the season of motherhood.
Fall Semester Registration Now Open
Registration for our fall semester, which runs from July-December, is going on now. Our theme this semester is Shout for Joy!
You might not be feeling led to shout on your journey to growing your family but when we look at scripture we read that when people shouted out to the Lord it is what led to their breakthrough. Join us for our fall semester as we dive in the power for shouting out in mourning, faith, warfare and MORE! Be expectant that your shout will lead to your breakthrough!
