The MU Vision

Vision
Our vision is of a
world where God’s love is shown through loving, respectful and flourishing
relationships. This is not a vague hope, but a goal we actively pursue by
praying, campaigning and enabling. Discover how in Our Focus.

Mission
We aim to show our Christian faith by the transformation of communities worldwide.
We can do this through supporting strong relationships within the family and
promoting reconciliation at all levels.

Values
There are more than four million members of Mothers’ Union
today in 84 countries around the world.
Each member subscribes to the same values:
We are firmly rooted in voluntary ethos centred on mutual respect and
collaboration.    
Our governance, leadership and programmes are driven by and undertaken
through members within their own communities worldwide.       
We are inclusive and work with people of all faiths and none

Our aims and objectives are:        
To encourage parents in their role 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   
To promote and support married life

Membership
Our members are not all mothers, or even all women.
They are single, married, parents,grandparents, or young adults
just beginning to express their socialconscience.
Mothers' Union provides, for all four million members, a network

financial support and actively working at the grassroots level in programmes
that meet local needs.
