MOPS is about ...

        Celebrating Motherhood

                          Meeting Needs

                                   Making Connections , and

       Experiencing God’s love through relationships and resources.

     MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

     At our MOPS group you will have a chance to socialize and have discussions with other moms, hear awesome speakers, and participate in crafts/creative activities.

CHILD CARE

     During our MOPS meetings, your children will be cared for in a program called MOPPETS, where they experience love in a preschool-like setting.

     Feel free to bring a friend! Please make sure to let our MOPPETTS coordinator know if you will be having a guest so that we can plan for adequate childcare.
