Brandywine MomCo
All moms need community! MomCo is an open, accepting place for moms of infants through high school students to experience authentic community, personal growth, practical help and spiritual hope. MomCo is for all moms – new moms, foster moms, adoptive moms, or seasoned mommyhood vets.
At every meetup, you can expect refreshments, community, practical teaching and tools from experts on topics that matter to you. The meetups end with table discussion group time formatted to allow moms to connect, build friendships, and discuss the monthly topic. Outside of our monthly meetups, table groups often get together for playdates, moms night out events, and evenings with our mentor moms.
*MOPS and MOMSnext recently rebranded as MomCo.
“We’re convinced that moms are some of the most powerful creatures on the planet. What is the word people use to define powerful things? It is ‘the mother’… the mother of all storms, the mother of all traffic, the mother lode. To be a mother is to be a force of nature, but that doesn’t mean it should be done alone. We saved you a seat.”

What Moms Say
Cheryl J.
Although I consider myself an outgoing person, I find myself more hesitant within mom groups but I am very glad I made the first step in at least attending MOPS/MomCo. My first MOPS/MomCo group really took me under their wing surrounding me with love, friendship, community and drew me in, even when I felt out of place. It has given me the support, connection and laughter that I needed as a new mom.
Erin B.
I look forward to MOPS/MomCo each month. I love sharing breakfast, fun and faith with friends. I know my children are safe and having fun with the childcare provided.
Joni Y.
I joined MOPS/MomCo because I was going through a difficult time as a single mom and needed a place to belong and have something to look forward to while I was healing. I continued in MOPS/MomCo because of the connections I made with other moms that I now call friends. It has been a safe, supportive space where I can share my life and grow along the way.
Rossana A.
MOPS/MomCo is important to me because I got to know friends when I was new to the state. The friends I have thru MOPS/MomCo were a huge support system when my son was in the hospital.
MOPS gave me and my kids the space to grow in a safe environment with God as a guide.
