BBM LEAWOOD 2020-2021
Plans for the upcoming BBM year includes adjustments due to the Coronavirus: To protect families in our congregation and community and to follow the executive orders issued by city and county officials, our church is continuing to develop processes for resuming on-site classes, small groups and gatherings for adults. We are confident in our ability to build Christian community through virtual means until such time as it is safe enough to return to in-person ministry.
Take a look at the group listings below and make note of the meeting dates for your calendar. The first two meetings for each group will be virtual on the Zoom platform; succeeding meeting plans will be announced month to month.

BBM LEAWOOD REGISTRATION FAQs
Please review our frequently asked registration questions.
When and how do I register?
The BBM Leawood program follows our local school calendar with the first meeting each program year in September and the last in May. Registration kicks off each year on Mother’s Day weekend (May) for the following program year (Sept).
Is there a fee?
The membership fee of $45 for moms includes 13 meetings. If childcare is needed during meetings, church childcare staff provides care for $45 per child. Fees are collected during online registration.
Do BBM groups fill up?
Yes! Some groups fill to capacity right away in May, while others reach the maximum number during the summer.
What happens when a group fills to capacity?
When a group reaches the maximum number of members, a wait list is offered. If an opening occurs during the first few group meetings, those on the wait list are notified in the order they were received. Again in January, if any current members determine they are no longer able to participate, those on the wait list are notified according to the number of spaces available.
Why is there a maximum number of members?
Groups are held to a maximum number in order to allow friendships to form within table groups. Consistency is important for relationships to take hold and for moms to begin sharing their true bumps and blessings. An important network of moms who “get it” grows into a lifeline in this manner. Additionally, the volunteer leadership of each group is equipped through training sessions to manage a set number of participating moms, rather than an evolving set of new names and faces. Our goal is to accommodate every mom who is interested in joining!
