Our mission is to educate, encourage, and equip women for the most important yet toughest job in all the world - parenting.  Through practical, Biblically-based teaching on parenting and through supportive interaction in small groups led by experienced mentor moms who follow the Titus 2:4 model in the New Testament, we wish to foster growth, not only in our parenting skills, but in our wholeness as women - intellectually, relationally, and spiritually.  

Who are we 

We are women of diverse backgrounds from many different churches and communities all over the Lodi area who have children of all ages (infancy through high school).  Though at various stages of parenting, we share a common desire to grow as women and as mothers.  

A Typical
​mom to mom morning

First we gather for a large group session on a topic pertinent to our lives as moms.  Our main lecturer is Linda Anderson, via DVD.  She has a background as an educator and reading specialist.  She is the wife of a Boston oncologist and mother of three young adult children.  Linda has been teaching parenting groups and Bible studies for over a decade and integrates much of her own life and reading into her Biblically-based teaching.

The morning session is followed by a coffee break, after which we gather in small groups, each led by an experienced mother to discuss the topic of the morning and apply it to our own families.  Here we have safe place to share the joys and frustrations of motherhood and to explore the promises and purposes God gives to us as parents.  

In addition, we have occasional workshop days, panel discussion, and celebration brunches.  
Titus 2:3-5
"Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderersor addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children,  to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God."

Curriculum

Real Mom Life is a biblically based curriculum taught by Linda Anderson and Theresa Nelson that encourages mothers in their every day mom jobs.  The series also provides perspective on some more specific parenting situations, such as raising strong-willed children, dealing with infertility, and addressing learning challenges.  We recognize that being a mom can be exhausting and sometimes frustrating.  In these lessons, we talk about being a mom in the real world!.: www.momtomom.org
