MUMS stands for Moms Uplifting Moms in the preschool years. We are Moms with kids from pregnancy through kindergarten age who want to encourage, nurture, and refresh one another, making our mothering substantial. MUMS is a resource for information on mommy-hood and a wonderful network for building relationships with other moms.
Immanuel Bible Church's MUMS meets once a month. We do not have childcare during our meetings; we love our kids, but this is a moms-only night (nursing infants are welcome, though). We have good food, great speakers, and quality time for round-table discussion in small groups. We have a wide range of ages, backgrounds, lifestyles, and children, but we all share a desire to be the best mothers we can be. Our speakers and our mentors are top-notch women who recognize how important the years from infancy through kindergarten are for kids and their moms. We also have special activities throughout the year, both for moms and for their young ones, helping build relationships with one another.
At a time when it is normal to feel tired, overwhelmed, and under appreciated, MUMS is a place where we can come together with other moms for friendship, support and encouragement! We hope you join us this year!
Meetings are held in Rooms A209-211 at Immanuel Bible Church, 7:30-9pm.

This Year's Theme:
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path”
--Psalm 119:105
During this season of motherhood, our days are filled with guiding and instructing our children through their early years. Similarly, when we become mothers we enter a season of life filled with paths that we too have to learn how to navigate; previously unknown routines, disciplines, struggles, and levels of joy require guidance and discernment. And just as we are called to guide and instruct our littles, God is providing His word as a guide and instruction for navigating all the changes in these years of motherhood.
We are reminded by the psalmist that God’s word is a lamp and a light to us - mercifully guiding our feet along the path of God’s will. His word directs us in our work and play, illuminating the right path for us in our motherhood. Join us this year for MUMS as we learn, grow and encourage each other in how God’s word guides and instructs us in motherhood.
Meeting Format
The following will give you an idea of what goes on at our meetings:

When you register, you are assigned to a small group of moms that sit at the same table number all year long. We will have hot tea, coffee and dessert.
7:45 Announcements / Games / Giveaways
8:00 Speaker
Sample topics for this year include how to study the Bible practically in this season, mom anger, organizing priorities and knowing your child to lead their heart. Speakers are typically women from IBC and will provide a biblical perspective on issues moms face every day.
8:35 Table Time
Discussion and fellowship time at your table led by table leaders and mentor moms.
9:00 End
MUMS Mentor Moms
Each table is assigned a MUMS Mentor Mom. This is a mother whose children are grown, and has volunteered to be actively involved in the lives of younger mothers. They are a great source of information and advice. There are several fun moms nights scheduled with the MUMS mentor moms. This allows you a chance to get to know them and ask questions about your experiences.
Resources and FAQS
IS THIS FOR ALL MOMS? While we have a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and children, this is a group for moms with kids from pregnancy through kindergarten age. Immanuel has another wonderful group for moms with kids in the elementary years – EMOMS.
WHAT WILL THE MONTHLY MEETINGS LOOK LIKE? Our meetings include dessert together, uplifting speakers, and discussion time in a small group with other moms in the same season of life. Each small group has its own Mentor Mom to encourage and support us during these important years of mothering. In addition to the monthly meetings, we have periodic special activities for fellowship and fun.
