MOMSnext Frequently Asked Questions
What is MOMSnext?
MOMSnext is a group experience designed to encourage, equip and develop mothers of school-age kids. This is a new ministry arm of MOPS International extending the current mission statement to reach more mothers and their families for Christ. Groups will provide relevant community for mothers of school-age kids while developing leaders and sharing the hope of Christ with moms who attend.
Who attends a MOMSnext group?
Every mother of school-age kids is welcome to a MOMSnext group. Most groups will focus on a target age range i.e. elementary years, so moms may feel some groups to be more relevant to their current mothering stage than others. With the likelihood that many alumni will participate in these groups, MOMSnext leaders need to be highly mindful that groups are open to NEW moms, and are welcoming to NEW moms.
What does MOMSnext Membership include?
- Raising Great Kids by Cloud and Townsend

Where and when does the group meet?
Our group is just starting and will meet the 3rd Friday of the month from September through May from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Is a mom already registered for the MOPS International Membership, required to also register for the MOMSnext Membership?
A woman will not be required to register for the MOMSnext Membership if she holds a current MOPS International Membership. However, she will not receive the MOMSnext specific benefits, Raising Great Kids and the MOMSnext E-zine, which may impact her ability to participate in group discussions.
