Welcome to MOPS!

If you are the mother of a child from birth through kindergarten, we invite you to join us the second or third Wednesday of each month (Sept - May) for fun friendship, learning, and crafts in a supportive atmosphere.

Your children will enjoy the MOPPETS program.

What You Can Expect

   Through Speakers, moms receive...

  • Instruction. Topics revolve around marriage, mothering, womanhood, homemaking, and time management - all applied according to biblical principles.

   Through Discussion Groups, moms experience

  • Community. Moms are divided into small groups for the year to reflect on the day's topic.
  • Self-worth. Moms become convinced of the value of mothering and the purpose of life.
  • Support. Discussion group members share concern with others who experience similar struggles, thereby receiving encouragement and input.
  • Intimacy. Moms develop mutual, lasting, committed friendships.

   Through Crafts, moms pursue...

  • Self Discovery and Development. By completing a craft, moms develop individual abilities, gifts, and skills.

   Through MOPPETS, moms appreciate...

  • Quality Child Care. Volunteers create a loving atmosphere where infants through two-year-olds can play with peers, getting to know one another and their caregivers. Dedicated Christian teachers introduce chldren ages 2 1/2 through 5 to Christ via organized lessons, crafts, Bible stories, and group play. Based on their age at the time of enrollment, children are assigned to a class for the entire year.

   Through all of MOPS, moms seek...

  • Recreation, Spiritual Development, and Balance. Moms set aside demands in order to be refreshed, and to balance completion and flexibility. Outings and special events for families complete the MOPS experience.
