Community Groups
Community Bible Study (CBS)
We love seeing what happens in people’s lives when they discover God through the study of His Word. We have Bible studies for all age groups and stages of life, from classes for toddlers and teens to classes for adults who are single and married. Together we explore the Bible and what it tells us about the God who has woven His story through history and is present with us now. There is a West Rochester and East Rochester class.
The Mom Co (Formerly MOPS)
MomCo is a non-profit organization that encourages and equips moms of young children to realize their potential as mothers, women and leaders, in relationship with Jesus and in partnership with the local church. MomCo — then, simply known as MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers)—was founded in 1973 when seven women in Colorado invited moms to meet regularly to grow together as women, parents, and leaders, with the ultimate goal of reaching women with the hope of Jesus.
Parenting Village
Creating a family is an amazing time full of excitement, wonder, and questioning. Often families find themselves with nowhere to turn to share in their joy or worries. It takes a village to raise a child. Parenting Village fosters the health and well-being of caregivers and children in the Rochester area by offering support and connection for all families. We envision an inclusive, mutually supportive community in which all thrive. Founded by moms who understood the support parents need, we continually assess and respond with care and compassion to what caregivers need to navigate the parenting journey.
Parent to Parent of Western New York
Parents of a person with a developmental disability or special health care need can be connected one-to-one with another parent support member who has experience with having a family member with a disability or chronic illness. The experienced support parent provides emotional support to the referral parent and assists them in finding information and resources.
