All Moms

 by Jess Sanders

The dream of bringing a ministry like All Moms to Hebron was planted in the heart of Kelly Knapp before she ever set foot here in Penn Hills and long before we ever met. Our ministry officially opened its doors for our debut event in the middle of a pandemic, wearing masks, and with zero clue if it could take off at a time such as this. On October 6, 2020, All Moms began and has continued to grow with each meeting.

All Moms is a MOPs (Mothers of Preschoolers) alternative, serving women with children age 0 (pregnant) through kindergarten. The name All Moms comes from the idea and mission that we are welcoming and meeting the needs of women from varying backgrounds and life circumstances: working moms, single moms, adoptive moms, stepmoms, stay-at-home moms, homeschool moms - we want them all to come! Our mission is to gather together twice a month, connect and develop relationships, hear a speaker share on a topic related to motherhood, dive into the concept and application of Jesus meeting us in the midst of that topic, and sometimes we craft! We have developed quite a range of teaching topics so far including: Discipline, Mommy Wars, Expectations, Parenting the Heart and look forward to finishing this semester with topics such as: Boundaries and Technology and Kids. Play dates and social events are on the horizon.

Our first semester had 26 women (62% not from Hebron) and this current semester has 30 registered women (74% not from Hebron). Moms have found us through our online presence, social media, and personal invites to women we meet out in the community. If you know a mom of young kids looking to grow deeper in her faith and connect with other moms in our area, encourage them to look us up!
