The Mothers' Union is an international Christian charity that seeks
to support families worldwide.
MU members are not all mothers, or even all women. Single, married,
parents, grandparents, or young adults just beginning to express their
social conscience. For all four 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. MU lobbies local
and national governments on issues affecting family life and campaign to
challenge legislation that neglects the vulnerable and marginalised.
MU’s Vision - a world where God's love is shown through loving, respectful, and flourishing relationships.
MU’s Mission - to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the
transformation of communities worldwide through the nurture of the
family in its many forms.
MU’s Objectives:
• To promote and support married life
• To encourage parents to develop the faith of their children
• To maintain a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer,
worship and service
• To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and
the protection of children
• To help those whose family life has met with adversity
MU’s Beliefs:
• We believe in the value of each individual and their unique qualities
• We believe in the value of relationships. Jesus said, "Love the Lord
your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind. This
is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love
your neighbour as yourself."
• We believe in the value of the family in its many forms as a source of
love and support for individuals and the basis for a caring community.
