Mission: We seek to connect and nurture women through Christian spiritual formation, leadership development, creative fellowship, and education so that they can inspire, influence and impact local and global communities.
Vision: We are a powerful, fearless force driven by God’s love and united in sisterhood. With a focus on women, children and youth, we act for justice and transform communities. We face the realities we see in the world, even when they are not the ones we would like to see. However, our goal is not to bear witness simply to harms but also to God’s love by acting boldly to change those harms.
Action: Bold action, like faith, takes courage. Our bravery is inspired by God’s love and our powerful commitment to improve the lives of women, children and youth. United Women in Faith works for justice through compassionate service and advocacy to change unfair policies and systems that harm women, children and youth—from racial and gender injustice to economic inequality, climate issues and more.
We meet monthly in small “Circle” groups of caring and active women for fellowship, education, spiritual growth, and mission outreach and programs. Fundraisers take place throughout the year to help support global and local ministries. The entire St. Andrew Unit of United Women in Faith and guests gather at least twice yearly for outreach and social justice events. We participate in Conference and District events. All are welcome.
Contact UWF to join a circle group or get involved!

Welcome to The MomCo at St. Andrew
As moms, we belong together. We are a small community of women who meet together to laugh, cry, and embrace the journey of motherhood. We believe that when we support one another, we all live happier and better equipped to thrive in our role as mothers.
Find support and community as well as guest speakers, relevant content, and discussion on current parenting and relationship topics, crafts, community service, mom’s night out, and playdates.
We meet twice a month on Monday and welcome moms with kids ages 0–18 years.
Morning meetups are from 9:45–11:45 am and childcare is available with membership.
Evening meetups are from 7–8:30 PM.

The MomCO at St. Andrew Membership fees cover your MomCo International annual membership, speakers, crafts, and MomCo kids childcare, which includes a Christian kid-friendly curriculum taught by dedicated childcare workers who complete training and a background check. The higher fees per semester ensure that we will not ask you to participate in fundraising or volunteer for childcare duties. The childcare fees break down to about $10 per hour of childcare provided, which is more affordable than many other options! If the cost is prohibitive to you joining, please email us to discuss.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your kids to our MomCo family! If you have any questions, please email us at themomcostandrew@gmail.com.
