Hi Moms!
Hoping to connect with other mothers?
So are we!
We’d love to have you join one of our meetups. We’ll start conversations about the things we all care about- topics like managing our emotions, healthy friendships, and loving our kids well through their ups and downs. Your kids can enjoy time in our childcare program while you grab a snack and a seat around a table! We hope you’ll leave feeling seen and encouraged.

FAQS
What can you expect at a meetup?
After we’ve given everyone time to arrive and settle in with their coffee, a speaker or a video will engage us on a “mom topic.” The majority of our time is spent around tables, talking through what we’ve just heard (discussion questions are provided as a springboard). We finish out our session with an opportunity to pray for one another.
What role does faith play in the meetups?
We started this group because the moms at our church needed opportunities to connect and find support. The speakers, leaders, and mentors you’ll meet here believe God cares deeply about motherhood and moms. We believe that He speaks to us through the Bible, His Spirit, and through one another. Our session materials reflect that understanding, while addressing topics practical for any mom, regardless of her beliefs.
We hope Chicago moms of any faith (or no faith) will find honest conversations and uplifting relationships here. If you have questions or concerns about how faith will affect your experience, we’d love to talk with you personally- and it can be an ongoing conversation! Reach out to the email listed below, and one of our leaders will contact you.
What is childcare like?
At Saturday meetups, we offer a nursery room for children two and under, and another room for older kids. Two approved volunteers are present in each room. All have completed a background check and interview process. On Wednesdays, we also have an option for kids to join AWANA. Feel free to reach out with any questions!
