Moms with children of all ages (birth through adult) are welcome to join!

We are so glad you found us! We meet on the first and third Thursdays of each month during the school year from 6-8:30pm (NOTE NEW TIMES) at Becker Baptist Church (11951 Hancock St SE, Becker, MN 55308). Childcare is provided if needed.

THE TECH TEAM NEEDS YOU!

If you like computers, music, gadgets, buttons or knobs then this team is for you. This is a great way to serve without missing the worship service. This team is in need of volunteers and is a great way to get involved behind the scenes while still having a large impact on the service. If you are interested in helping in this area stop by the tech booth after service and ask us about how you can get involved or contact Max Salvevold.
