MOPS is about:
Celebrating Motherhood
Meeting Needs
Making Connections
Experiencing God's Love
MOPS is a time for moms to grow as women and learn to be better mothers, wives, and Christian women.
MOPS understands that the years from infancy to kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.
MOPS provides a haven for soothing frazzled nerves and forming lifelong friendships.

Wondering Where Your Kids Will Be?
During all MOPS meetings, your children are being cared for in a pre-school like setting known as MOPPETS. Your children are divided into age appropriate classes and will enjoy stories, games, crafts, a Bible lesson, free play, and other activities.
MOPPETS could not work without the hard work and dedication of our MOPPETS workers. They provide love and encouragement to our little ones. At MOPS meetings, mothers aren't the only ones having fun!
