Mops International purpose statement:

MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.

This purpose is accomplished primarily through relationships built among mothers as they interact , share ideas, encourage each other and find that they are not alone.

The goal of MOPS is to assist churches in   providing Christ-centered, caring ministry for mothers of preschoolers, led by MOPS women, which develops friendships, creativity and leadership training.  The MOPS group is not a Bible Study; rather, it involves instruction   relating to family, relationships, marriage, child-rearing and womanhood based on Biblical principles.
