About Mothers' Union

Mothers' Union is a worldwide society founded in England over a century ago.  Its purpose is to be especially concerned with all that strengthens and preserves marriage and  family life. By supporting marriage and family life, especially through times of adversity, they tackle the most urgent needs challenging relationships and communities.

 

Our members are not all mothers, nor all women. Men are welcome too! They are Single, married, parents, grandparents. For all 4 million members what Mothers’ Union provides is a network through which they can serve Christ in their own community – through prayer, financial support and actively working at the grassroots level in programmes that meet local needs.
