Ability to join local groups in person, and our Facebook group to connect with fellow members online. Join in shared moments of prayer and reflection with our Midday Prayers on Facebook and our global Wave of Prayer.
Active part in our campaigns
Have the chance to take an active part in our campaigning work, community projects in your local area, or more globally through out strong international connections.
Which way of joining is right for me?
We offer different types of membership to accommodate levels of time commitment and personal circumstances: new members can choose to become a global member or a local member*.
Our global membership is ideal for anyone who wants to be part of the global movement, and supports its objectives without active involvement in local community outreach or volunteering.
By joining our global movement, the change we can achieve together is priceless. To join Mothers’ Union as part of the global movement, please click on the “Join the Global Movement” box below.
Joining MU through a local group as a local member or friend is likely to be the right path for people particularly interested in getting involved actively to make a change in their local community, and in joining together with other members in faith, fellowship and friendship. If you would like to join locally, please contact the local diocese directly for more details. See below for further information.
For clergy and church members who feel their congregation would benefit from being part of Mothers’ Union, we offer a new church‑based membership option. Click here to find out more.
