Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)

Here at MOPS, we gather and support moms. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together, face to face. That’s why we rally women to come together and help each other through this thing called motherhood. MOPS encourages and equips moms of young children to realize their potential as mothers, women, and leaders, in relationship with Jesus, and in partnership with our church. If you are expecting, have an infant, toddler, or preschooler, come join us!
