"Plant a Group" Program

The "Plant a Group" Program is a way for experienced group leaders to come alongside new leaders as mentors to help them get their group started.

A mentor can work with someone she already knows (like a mom who is part of your group and would like to bring MOPS to her church) OR MOPS can match you with a new leader in your area.

Either way, your experience, kindness and knowledge of already knowing the ins and outs of running a MOPS group will help a new group blossom!

By participating in this program you will experience the benefits of helping another group get started and - because we appreciate your help - MOPS will reward your group!

The benefits for YOUR group!

• $50.00 off Charter Renewal for 2013
• $50.00 MOPShop gift certificate

Specials for the new group!

• New Ministry Kit provides leader training and group resources to get your new group started
• Mentoring from an experienced group leader who will walk alongside you and help you through the first year

*This offer is for starting a new group. This special offer does not apply to additional groups.

How to get started: 

1. Share the Plant A Group Program info with the other leaders of your group. 
   • More “MOPS Meets here” signs in front of churches equals more MOPS recognition, which will bring more moms into your group too!
   • Talk about sharing your experience and helping another leader get started. You may have someone from your group who would like to start a MOPS group at her church!
2. Contact the Ministry Outreach Team at 888-910-6677 or startagroup@MOPS.org and let us know you would like to mentor a new group leader through the Plant a Group Program.

What would I do?

• Help the new group leader connect with MOPS International through the Ministry Outreach Team 888-910-MOPS or startagroup@MOPS.org) or your local Field Leader.
• Encourage the new leader through prayer, emails and phone calls.
• Answer questions and help the leader find the answers they need.
• Help her plan the first leadership meeting and help through the planning process of the first year.
