MOPS

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers and is for every mom who is pregnant or has children birth - Kindergarten age. MOPS exists to nurture every mother of preschoolers by meeting her distinct needs to the glory of Jesus Christ. Unlike a playgroup or Mom's Morning Out, MOPS is a morning where moms and their children learn and grow. The children (or MOPPETS as we like to call them), enjoy a program designed to meet their needs. The moms come for a time of food, fun and friendship, all the while becoming even greater moms!
