About Us

We are the Burtonsville MomCo (formerly called MOPS) group that meets two Wednesday mornings a month from 9:30 - 11:30 am Resurrection Catholic Church in Burtonsville (3315 Greencastle Road).  If you are pregnant or have children, we would love to have you as part of our MomCo group.


MomCo stands for Mom Community. The purpose of MomCo is to meet the needs of every mom -urban, suburban, and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single, and married moms.  We are a community of mothers supporting each other throughout all the phases of motherhood.


MomCo recognizes that the years from infancy to kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs. MomCo helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups like this one that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children.

MomCo is also for moms that are experiencing life after the baby/toddler years are over! Your kids are now in school, navigating complex social situations, you're running them to extracurriculars, helping with homework, and figuring out how to raise and support these "big kids" as they take off in the world! Moms need support and community through this season as well.  MomCo brings you relevant content to your life stage and allows you to connect with other moms of elementary-aged kids.

At Burtonsville MomCo we are building a safe community that disciples, supports, encourages, and inspires moms to embrace God’s divine calling to motherhood.

What happens at a MomCo Meeting?
At each of our meetings, moms enjoy a chance to socialize, relax and learn in an informal setting. At many meetings, a speaker will address a topic related to motherhood or family life. Following the speaker, we'll have time for discussion and socializing.  We also participate in craft activities, service events that benefit our community, and other events outside our meetings that help deepen our relationships with each other and with Christ. 

How will it work?
We believe that we support each other best as a group of different ages-and-stages moms bringing different experiences and perspectives to the table.

We will encourage each other, laugh together, cry together, learn together, face challenges together, and walk alongside each other on this motherhood journey.


How can I get involved with MomCo?
If you are a mother or expectant mother, you may join MomCo. Because we need to plan for childcare, please register before attending. To register, you can fill out the registration form on our Registration page or email us at burtonsvillemops@gmail.com  If your youngest child is school-aged, we would love to have you in our MomCo community as a member or as a teacher in the classroom setting.

What about childcare?
During the MomCo meeting, children ages 6 months to 5 years will be cared for in a preschool-like setting called KidsCo. We strive to make it a fun and nurturing program so that kids are glad to be there, and moms are glad to leave them.  Babies under 6 months are welcome to attend the meetings with mom.  If your baby will turn 6 months during the 2026-2027 school year, you may register them for childcare to hold a spot for when they turn 6 months.


What does it cost?
This year the annual MomCo International registration fee is $31.95...your spot is not confirmed until we receive this payment. This fee goes directly to MomCo International, and in return you'll receive a subscription to a bi-monthly magazine and other great things! 
In addition, we do collect chapter dues to cover the costs of materials and childcare. If money is tight, please inquire about a scholarship. For more information on chapter dues, visit our Registration page.


What else does MomCo offer?
Playdates - Each semester we offer several playdates. Bring your kid(s) and enjoy a morning of fun.  

Moms' Night Out - Several times per semester Burtonsville MomCo will organize a Moms Night Out. Leave your kids at home and remember what life was like before kids! Each time we will try a different activity - cheesecake, craft making, a game night, ceramics and more!

While only registered moms can attend the monthly MomCo meetings, all moms are welcome to our playdates and Moms' Night Outs - feel free to bring a friend or two!
