FAQ

What is The MomCo?

The MomCo stands for The Mom Community. We connect moms and meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of motherhood. MomCo groups are rallying women to be more honest, to feel more equipped, and to find their identity by journeying alongside one another.

Who can be in The MomCo?

The MomCo of Beaverton is open to ANY mother of children, pregnancy through 6th grade.

Is The MomCo Religious?

Yes, both The MomCo International and MomCo of Beaverton are Christian organizations. Here at MomCo of Beaverton we strive to make everyone comfortable and welcome. All faiths (including those with no faith) are welcomed and encouraged to participate in our group.
Our meetings start with a prayer and a devotional from someone in the group (those leading this are only those that are comfortable doing so, we would never ask someone to lead or participate in something not reflective of their own spiritual comfort). Member and leaders also ask each other how we can pray for each other in our personal lives with a hope to deepen our friendships and bonds.

What does the registration fee cover?

The MomCo International charges a membership fee of $37, which we pass onto our members. You will receive an amazing quarterly magazine from The MomCo with your membership! The annual fee also covers: childcare (if you are registered for that), speaker fees, leadership training, zoom membership, software memberships, printing supplies, office supplies, name tags, supplies for brunch (napkins, plates, cups, cutlery), coffee and creamer, end of year party, scholarships (for those who cannot afford annual dues), amongst other things.

What if I need to cancel my registration?

If you need to cancel, please contact us at momcobeaverton@gmail.com as soon as possible so that your spot can be opened up for another mom. Thank you!

What happens if there is a waitlist?

If there is a waitlist, please register and if spots become available, we will contact you. The waitlist is on a first come, first served basis.

What does a typical meetup look like?

Meetups typically start with an opening prayer followed by a 3-5 minute spiritual devotional from one of our members. Afterwards, we enjoy a potluck meal and time to catch up with the other moms. Then we have a guest speaker or educational video followed by discussion time. We close with announcements and a prayer.

Where are meetups held?

Meetups are held at St. Matthew Lutheran Church (10390 SW Canyon Rd, Beaverton OR 97006), in the Courtyard Fellowship Hall. Enter through the church double doors and turn left to enter the fellowship hall. A welcome table will be setup near the entrance to guide to you the fellowship hall. If you have any questions, look for anyone wearing a “The MomCo Beaverton” T-shirt and they can help direct you to your table or answer any questions!

How are moms connected throughout the year?

You will be assigned to a table for the year, and each table will have a designated Table Lead who helps lead conversations, reminds us of playdates, mom’s night out, and other events, and is there to make sure every mom feels welcome! We also have Mentor Moms who are there to provide additional support. During some meetings there will be larger group ice breakers and opportunities to connect with a ‘sister table.’ Additional opportunities to connect with moms include attending playdates, mom’s night out, and other social events! These are great opportunities to meet moms from other tables.
