Table Mom Agreement

Terms & Conditions for Participating as a MomLife Ministries Table Mom 2024-2025

We are so thrilled that you are interested in becoming a MomLife Ministries Table Mom! We know this decision is a big deal and possibly even out of your comfort zone. MomLife Ministries is here to walk with you along the way! We’re here to help with training, providing materials and resources, and checking in with you throughout the year. And we’re always available for questions.

Thank you for taking this step to care for, love, and spur on other moms. We look forward to partnering in ministry with you!

MomLife Ministries asks that all Table Moms:

• Read and faithfully and honestly agree with the core beliefs, mission and values of MomLife Ministries. Understand that MomLife Ministries will teach, train and equip moms based on their statement of beliefs. All MomLife Ministries speakers and teachers will have agreed to the mission, values, and foundational beliefs of MomLife Ministries. Understand that MomLife Ministries will teach about biblical marriage as: God wonderfully and beautifully created each human being as distinctly male or female. We believe the biblical definition of marriage is a sacred covenant between one biological male and one biological female. God's original design and intent for sex is a sacred gift between a husband and wife to be shared within the confines of the marriage covenant. We believe that because of the fall, all humanity struggles with sexual and relational brokenness; therefore, we will demonstrate love, patience, and compassion with one another as we strive towards holiness in these areas.
• Understand that all partnering churches and MomLife Tables will lead their group/moms under the specific values, beliefs, authority, and leadership of their individual home church. Any speakers, teachers or leaders used in partnering churches or MomLife Tables does not signify as an endorsement of MomLife Ministries or its founding church, Grace Community Church.
• Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Because not all moms who attend MomLife have made the decision to follow Christ, Table Moms have the special opportunity to share their story of life change and set an example of what it looks like to be a mom/woman/wife/etc. who loves and follows Jesus. One of the primary values at MomLife is connecting women to Jesus and helping them take a next step in their faith journey. We hope that as a Table Mom you are actively engaging in spiritual practices in your personal walk with Christ. This is by no means a call to perfection, but rather a call to be committed to following Christ and pointing others to Him.
• Be a regular and active attendee and participant in a local church. Being connected to a local church is one of the greatest ways to experience community and also to be filled up in order to pour out to the moms around you.
• Have a love for other women (especially moms) and take great interest in using personal strengths and giftings to encourage and equip moms to realize their potential as mothers, women, and leaders in relationship with Jesus and in partnership with a local church. 
• Show warmth, acceptance, and empathy to women from every background, demonstrating appropriate discretion about the personal lives of others. This includes all the various places moms are in with their choices for things like politics, school, vaccinations, discipline, and so much more.  
• Attend an August MomLife Ministries Training. We will have a Leadership Training Day for all MomLife Table Moms, Church Partners, and other MomLife leaders. You can attend in person on August 10 (9:00am-1:00pm) at Grace Community Church OR agree to watch the online training videos and then attend one of the Zoom Leadership Q&A meetings on August 21 (9:30am or 6:30pm, CST). We ask that all MomLife leadership agree to participate in the leadership training so that you can feel supported, equipped, and encouraged in your role as Table Mom. We will also have leadership check-ins throughout the year to help you feel seen and supported in your leadership role. 
• Understand that your role of Table Mom is to serve as “mother” for moms at your MomLife table. Promote safety, acceptance, trust, and belonging for each mom in your group and focus on creating an atmosphere where the love of Jesus is shared through building relationships. Help provide support for moms, not because you have all the answers, but because you know that’s what Jesus would be doing. We hope Table Moms will lead and share with vulnerability and honesty; no perfection or “having it all figured out” necessary. 
• Understand you are making a commitment to lead a group of moms a minimum of twice a month beginning in late August/early September 2024 through May 2025. 
• Understand you are primarily responsible for promotion and recruiting for moms for your table, not MomLife Ministries.
• Understand and agree to the MomLife Ministries Privacy Policy and MomLife Ministries Terms of Service.
