What is MOPS?

---

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.

 

MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mothers of young children. MOPS also encourages and supports moms through resources such as books and their website.

 

This is accomplished by providing:

• A fun, relaxing atmosphere free from children for mothers to enjoy being with other mothers
• Social time for mothers to just chat uninterrupted
• Devotional teaching on different aspects of being a good mother and a godly woman
• Creative craft projects and ideas where mothers can enjoy learning a new skill they can use in their home and complete a project in one sitting
• Care Groups where mothers have a chance to build intimate friendships with a smaller group of women
• Life Lessons where the mothers learned valuable information, such as Learning Your Child's Love Language, Infant/ Child CPR, Home Organization, Cake decorating, painting techniques, just to name a few.

 

MOPS Is About...

• Celebrating motherhood
• Meeting needs
• Making Connections
• Experiencing God’s love...through relationships and resources
