MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers
MOPS International exists encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs. MOPS is about celebrating motherhood, meeting needs, making connections, and experiencing God’s love...through relationships and resources.
Then come and meet other moms who are taking part of life Together on Planet Mom.
It is our desire that every mother of a preschooler has time to be nurtured. We are committed to helping mothers of preschoolers as she ventures through this exciting and challenging time in her life. Hillcrest MOPS wants to allow every mom to have a break from her daily routine, to know that her children are being well taken care of, and to give her an opportunity to develop new friendships and nurture existing ones.

The MOPS Experience equips women for the joys and challenges of their lives as moms. One key factor in the MOPS Experience is the relationships built within a group. Time and time again, MOPS moms share that the friends they make in MOPS are significant for this season of their life and on into their future. God created us for relationship! It’s one of the defining parts of being human. However, when you become a mom, all your relationships change. It’s like you have landed on a different planet—Planet Mom—and the relationships on Planet Mom don’t look like the ones on your previous planet. Your relationship with yourself is different—you are a mom! Your relationship with your husband, girlfriends, extended family, community and God have all changed. Many of these changes are positive, some are not. Even positive change requires adjustments on your part. During the 2009-10 MOPS year, we will explore how to thrive in relationships Together on Planet Mom.

So What does a typical MOPS meeting feel like?
Our MOPS meetings always begin with FOOD! Well, OK, we have food all morning long. Once we have plated our food (or during the plating), our emcee will begin the meeting with announcements. Afterwards we have the main speaker and then gather into smaller groups for discussion. The morning ends with a craft and then promptly picking up our children from MOPPETS at 11:00.
