Who leads the MOPS Groups?

It only takes one person with a passion for reaching out to mothers to introduce the MOPS program to a local ministry and enlist their support. And you don't have to do it alone. At the core of the local MOPS ministry is a team of Christian women, called the Steering Team, who share the leadership of a MOPS group.

MOPS International has more than thirty years of experience with local MOPS groups and will provide you with the resources you need. In chartering a MOPS group, you will make a difference in the lives of women and their children

The following positions are designed to meet specific needs within a typical MOPS group:

Coordinator: Leads the Steering Team, coordinates the MOPS ministry and acts as a liaison between MOPS International and the Chartering Ministry. She is the emcee of the MOPS meeting and leads the group by her enthusiasm.

Creative Activities Team Leader: Organizes, plans, and teaches crafts and creative activities along with her team. She may also invite guest demonstrators to share ideas during the creative activity time of the MOPS meeting.

Discussion Group Team Leader: Coordinates and encourages Discussion Group Facilitators and works closely with the MOPS Mentor. She substitutes for absent Discussion Group Facilitators and, with them, prays for the individual members of the MOPS group.

MOPPETS Team Leader: Oversees the MOPPETS ministry, and recruits, trains and encourages MOPPETS staff. She selects classroom curriculum, shows caring concern to the MOPS moms about their children and communicates program policies.

Finance Team Leader: Collects fees, manages the money, and budgets for the group. She pays guest speakers or demonstrators, deposits money, keeps accurate records, and assists her team with fundraising. She encourages the other Team Leaders to be accountable in spending for their area.

Hospitality Team Leader: Organizes refreshments for each meeting, plans brunches and special events, and assists with special needs along with her team. She may also organize meeting icebreakers and skits to help the ladies relax and get to know each other.

Publicity Team Leader: Publicizes MOPS meetings by promoting to local businesses and in newspapers. She facilitates communication between the Steering Team and the MOPS women in her group through newsletters and/or fliers.

MOPS Mentor: A mom with older children who often teaches, schedules guest speakers, and encourages the Steering Team. The MOPS Mentor attends Steering Team meetings as an advisor, contributing ideas, but is not a voting member. She is a mentor to the MOPS women by being a listening ear, as women need her godly advice.

Additional positions or Co-Team Leaders may be added to your Steering Team as growth or special needs arise in your group.
