About Mommy Reads

Welcome to Mommy Reads, a wonderful community initiative brought to you by McCormick Road Baptist Church in Gainesville. Our goal is to foster the love for reading in both moms and children while nurturing their faith through carefully selected, faith-based books. We believe that literature has the power to bring families closer together and deepen their spiritual connection.

Discover the Joy of Reading

In today's fast-paced world, it is essential to carve out quality time for bonding with our little ones. Mommy Reads provides a platform for moms to connect, share their experiences, and explore the joy of reading with their children. We understand the importance of early childhood development and the role books play in shaping their minds and hearts.

Join our Community

By becoming a part of Mommy Reads, you'll have the opportunity to engage in enriching activities such as:

  • Book Club Meetings: Connect with like-minded moms who share a passion for reading and want to instill strong values in their children. Attend our regular book club meetings where we discuss faith-based literature and share insights.
  • Storytelling Sessions: Immerse yourself in the magic of storytelling and create cherished memories with your child. Our storytelling sessions bring books to life, reinforcing core Christian values and teachings.
  • Workshops and Seminars: Reap the benefits of expert-led workshops and seminars on building reading habits, selecting age-appropriate books, and integrating faith-based content into your child's reading journey.
  • Community Outreach: Embrace the spirit of giving and participate in our community outreach programs. Help spread the love for reading and faith-based literature to children in need by donating books or volunteering your time.

Embrace the Power of Family and Faith

We believe that literature has the ability to inspire, teach, and shape young minds. Through our carefully curated collection of faith-based books, we aim to foster a deeper sense of spirituality within your family. These books offer meaningful stories, lessons, and biblical teachings that nurture both the mind and soul.

Why Choose Faith-Based Books?

Faith-based books provide a unique perspective on life, faith, and the values that are important to us. By exposing children to these stories, they not only gain moral guidance but also develop empathy, compassion, and a greater understanding of their own beliefs.

The Impact of Reading Together

Reading together with your child is a powerful bonding experience. It creates meaningful moments, sparks discussions, and lays the foundation for open communication. By choosing faith-based books, you can make this time even more impactful by instilling the values and principles that resonate with your family's beliefs.
