Join us for MOPS
At a MOPS group, you can link arms with other moms to tackle this motherhood thing together – even if you’re all just making it up as you go. You’ll receive support, mentoring and plenty of hugs.
From mothering topics, financial management, relational skills and more, mothers receive the support they need at MOPS. By meeting these needs MOPS is creating space for moms to come into relationship with Jesus

What is MOPS?
We are a group for any and all moms of kids from pregnancy to kindergarten. We encourage and equip moms of preschoolers through friendships, fellowship, mentoring, speakers and a warm brunch! Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) is an international organization that believes better moms make a better world. MOPS exists to encourage and equip mothers of young children. Check out the MOPS International website https://www.mops.org/
What can I expect?
MOPS is a community of moms that want the same thing you do - to be the best mom they can be while not losing sight of your own identity as a woman. MOPS is a place for encouragement, advice, fun and fellowship. You will have a table leader to guide the conversation during meetings and to help plan activities outside of MOPS. There is also a mentor mom at each table (older, wiser mom who is passed the little kid phase) to help with questions and provide encouragement. Our tables sit together at meetings and get together for playdates and mom's night outs outside of MOPS meetings.
What is a MOPS meeting like?
We start our meetings with a warm brunch that we take turns bringing. We have time to chat and catch-up on life before hearing a speaker on topics relevant to the busy life stage of mothering young kids. After the speaker, we have some time for discussion before heading out to pick-up our kids. TL MOPS is a place where you can come as you are, get a break from the relentless duties of motherhood and connect with other women!
What is childcare like?
All our childcare workers are background checked, trained and LOVE kids. Your children will hear a Bible story, learn Bible songs, have time to play and have a snack. Our childcare workers look forward to seeing your kids each meeting!
How much does MOPS cost?
You will pay $32 (in September) which registers you with MOPS International. This is non-refundable since it is paid to MOPS International. Our semester dues of $30 (for meeting) and $30 or $45 (depending on how many children you enroll in MOPS KIDS) are due in September and January. The semester dues fund our group's expenses such as childcare and speakers. Scholarships are available on an as-needed basis.
Example of total cost: Mom with one child in MOPS KIDS $60/semester plus $32/yearly MOPS International Fee
