Why Start a MOPS Group?

We’ll provide all the training, resources and coaching to equip volunteers to lead a MOPS group with confidence, so that you and your leaders can focus on what matters most: building relationships with young families and introducing them to Jesus.

What pastors are saying about MOPS
Motherhood is becoming more and more challenging. The church can help with direction through solid family values. Both mothers and church will benefit.
Vredelust Church
In so many ways, MOPS embodies the mission of our church. From connection and discipleship to mentorship and leader development, MOPS provides a space for moms and their children to deepen with God and one another. It also serves as an incredible “front door” for families in the community to find a welcoming home to be known and loved. I’m so thankful for the ministry of MOPS International and their commitment to partnering with the local church to reach communities with the gospel of Jesus!
Christ Community Church
We continue to see moms engage with MOPS from beyond our church and see their lives and relationships blossom through gatherings and interactions. We see our congregation grow as a direct result of offering this meaningful ministry to moms.
