MOPS Mission Statement
To encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.
Welcome to MOPS!
MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom – urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms – moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar belief – Better Moms Make a Better World! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother – child relationship and are filled with unique needs.
MOPS International’s primary tools for encouragement are regular local meetings where moms of all ages and from all backgrounds gather to build friendships, share practical parenting strategies, and meet with mentors.
Chartered MOPS groups meet several times a month in 4,000 churches, ministries and non-profit groups throughout the U.S. and over 30 other countries. More than 102,000 women are currently registered in MOPS groups!
MOPS is run by moms, for moms. Organizing our meetings, decorating our room, making coffee, planning our year, preparing for crafts and recruiting volunteers for MOPPETS have all been done by fellow moms in this room. Every year the moms in our group uniquely shape our MOPS experience. Wondering how you can be a part of making MOPS happen? Be sure to talk with your DGL or MOPS Co-coordinators, Kristine Ferguson and Ericka Southcombe.
