Are you a mother of a preschooler (age birth-five) or are you expecting a baby and looking for a chance to connect with other moms? You’ve come to the right place.
The arrival of your baby in the world was difficult enough, but now it’s turned your world upside down. When did showers become a luxury? MOPS knows you're experiencing a challenging phase of life when doubt, fear, frustration and exhaustion collide with love, joy, hope and elation. This is a turbulent time for both you and your child. So while you’re pouring yourself into the development of your child, let us pour encouragement, insight and confidence into you.
MOPS is a special place you can go to meet other women who are also experiencing this unique stage of life. You’ll have a chance to not only make new friends, but discover an abundance of helpful hints and smart strategies to deal with the wide-ranging challenges of motherhood. Our MOPS program is all about:
- Celebrating motherhood
- Meeting the needs of moms with preschoolers
- Making connections with other women and moms
- Experiencing God’s love through relationships and resources
MOPS is not a Bible study, but we approach all our practical mothering topics and relationships from a Biblical foundation.
WHAT WILL I DO AT MOPS?
- Fellowship with other mothers
- Enjoy breakfast and coffee
- Hear from relevant and insightful speakers
- Participate in seasonal activities
DO I BRING MY CHILDREN?
Yes, the children of MOPS are called MOPPETS and have a program of their own. Children under two have access to a fully-staffed nursery while older children enjoy an interactive Bible story followed by a craft, snack and play time. Our MOPPETS volunteers are some of the most caring and dedicated individuals you’ll meet. Each childcare provider has been screened with a national background check.
If, however, your children are currently enrolled in a local nursery school, we would still love to have you join us while they spend time at their preschool.
DOES IT COST ANYTHING?
Yes, there is a yearly MOPS to Mom Connection membership of $23.95 which is due along with your MOPS registration form. With this membership you’ll receive a magazine subscription to MOMSense Magazine (a bi-monthly publication packed with practical parenting tips and inspirational ideas), weekly Mom emails (bursts of encouragement) and other great resources. We also have weekly meeting fees. However, we never want money to prevent you from joining MOPS, so please ask if you need assistance. Full or partial scholarships are available.
