Want to be the best mom possible?
You are not alone. Welcome to MOPS!
 You are invited to a place designed specifically for you. In a MOPS group you’ll meet other women from your local area who are in the same stage of life as you are; all MOPS moms have at least one child ranging in age from birth to kindergarten. You’ll belong to a community of authentic, fun, uplifting, real moms who support and encourage one another, share joys and failures and help each other grow.
All to help moms be the best they can be, so that no mom will be alone.

More about MOPS
MOPS groups meet as often as once a week, and as infrequently as once a month - groups meet during the day, in the evenings, or on weekends. All groups are unique based on what area they are in and the women in the group, however most contain the following elements:
- Discussion: The intimate and accepting atmosphere of a small group offers moms a chance to share their successes, failures, questions, and concerns. It is during these times that a mom realizes that she is not alone, and lifelong friendships are formed.
- Learning: Moms and speakers share important skills about parenting and how to be a better mom.
- A creative activity or service project: Through creative projects and presentations, women are encouraged to experience the sense of accomplishment that comes with trying and finishing new things.
- MOPPETS: Most MOPS groups have a children’s program called MOPPETS, where your child will experience love in a preschool-like setting.
 While each group is different, 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 their experiences.
- 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, for mothers of preschoolers. Women who are involved in MOPS gain confidence to influence the people around them in their families, workplaces, schools, churches and neighborhoods.
