More About MOPS
In our homes of origin many of us learned the deepest lessons about relationship, 
developed life routines and acquired our tastes and preferences. And now, as moms, we long to create homes where our families can thrive and grow — and we can too.
The heart of the HOME is also a picture of God’s desire to interact with us and deeply love us where we really live. He desires to make his home in our hearts. He expresses it this way in the theme verse:
"...he lives with you and will be in you." John 14:17
Three key elements of this theme to explore:
• Our homes are where we bond, cocoon, build inwardly.
• Our homes are where we refuel so that we can live fully
in the world beyond.
• Our homes are a picture of Jesus' dwelling within us.

Moppets“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
Our facility is equipped to handle infants through preschool. Moppets workers want to meet the needs of children, as well as the needs of their moms.
Children ages 3-5 will be in a preschool like setting. They will hear a story and Bible lesson, do arts and crafts, have snack and play time. All workers submit a background check information and are reviewed on a regular basis. Each classroom has low child:worker ratios. Snack and juice are provided.
