FAQ's
WHAT is MOPS?
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) is a place where moms of newborns through kindergarteners can
come to find encouragement, fellowship, food and fun.
METMOPS groups meet twice a month on Friday mornings. Excellent childcare is provided for
the children while the moms meet to hear a speaker or complete a fun craft project. The speaker’
s topics have been thoughtfully chosen to enhance knowledge in areas that are most important to
moms. The craft projects give you a chance to learn a new skill and complete a project without a
little person interrupting.
Each meeting includes small group discussion time where you can share ideas, reflect on the day's
topics, and get to know other moms. Each discussion group has a mentor mom – we call them
Titus Women – who is there to encourage us, pray for us, and inspire us to be better moms. And,
of course, there is always lots of great food and fun, prizes and giveaways.
We are chartered through MOPS International, a non-denominational organization which exists
to meet the needs of every mom - urban, suburban and rural moms, stay-at-home and working
moms, teen, single and married moms - moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire
to be the very best moms they can be! MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through
kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.
MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a
caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children. For more information on MOPS
International you can reach them on the web at www.mops.org If you have more questions about

"I am a little nervous about coming to MOPS by myself and not having anyone to talk
to....."
No worries.....you will already be placed into an awesome discussion group before you walk into
the door of your 1st MOPS meeting. Your discussion group leader will have already contacted
you beforehand and someone will greet you when you arrive at MOPS and show you where to go.
You will stay with your discussion group throughout the MOPS meeting.
I am not a member of The MET and I am not Baptist. Will I feel out of place?
Not at all....METMOPS has a great mix of moms from a wide range of ages, backgrounds and
parenting styles. We always find that as moms, regardless of whether we are older or younger,
work or stay at home, Baptist or Catholic, we have a lot in common and we benefit and grow from
knowing one another.
I work outside of the home will there be other moms who work outside the home also?
The members of our MOPS groups change from year to year. Our MOPS groups typically have
quite a few moms who work part time, but have Friday mornings available. We are chartered
under MOPS International, which has a lot of great resources for working moms. The web site for
MOPS International is www.MOPS.org.
What type of craft projects do you do and what if I'm not crafty?
We do a variety of craft projects ranging from decorative "knick knacks" for your house to practical
items like tote bags. Don't worry if you're not crafty. You'll have fun whether you choose to give
the craft a try or if you choose to sit and talk with your discussion group as they try their hand at
it. It's totally up to you, but you might be surprised at the "crafty" woman just waiting inside for just
the right craft to do.
