A place to find friendship, community, resources and support for you
as a woman and mother so you're not alone.
The MOPS program is built on several foundational principles:
* Community: MOPS provides an open, caring, and accepting atmosphere where women can come together to share this important season of life.
* Mentoring: Mature women listen, encourage, and offer information and perspectives gained through experience.
* Practical Instruction: Teaching focuses on areas of common interest, offering inspiration and information that is relevant to the life of a mother.
* Leadership Development: MOPS groups are organized and run by mothers of preschoolers, as well as for mothers of preschoolers. Women who are involved in MOPS gain confidence in their leadership skills through the training and experience they receive from MOPS.
At each meeting, you will receive:
*Fellowship with moms facing the same challenges you are
*A Guest Speaker discussing relevant topics
*A Devotional to help your spiritual growth *A craft/service project

Meetings are twice a month- the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month from 9:00-11:30 a.m.

Our Moppet program is run by experienced teachers. Children are divided by age group. Each class hears a Bible Story, has playtime and shares a snack. At this time, there is no charge for childcare. However, in return, we ask for help during our twice a year Consignment Sales. Money raised at our sales offsets our childcare costs.
