 "What MOPS has provided for me...a welcome break; a chance to make new friends; the opportunity to know I'm not the only mom who goes through the struggles and joys of raising young children..."

Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) is for mothers of infants, toddlers and preschoolers. MOPS is an international organization specifically designed to meet the needs of moms with young children. We meet twice a month for a time of discussion, optional crafts and guest speakers to help us be better moms.

This coming year I, Molly Huard, get the opportunity to coordinate MOPS.  MOPS is an international ministry designed to meet the needs of moms with pre-schoolers, ages newborn thru kindergarten.   Being a mom of two little girls, ages two and four, I know the importance of a ministry for moms which encourages, educates and grows us spiritually as we go through this amazing and sometimes challenging season of life.

Four years ago my husband’s work moved us and our then five-month-old, lil’ Haley, across the country to the state of Indiana.  This was my first time away from home, family and friends.  Not only was I a first time mom, but my support group was now 2,000 miles away. 

In search of a new church to attend, I stumbled across MOPS and was it ever a blessing in my life!  MOPS not only put me around like-minded women to fill my desire for fellowship and friendship, but it also reinforced the importance of mothering.  Educational speakers nurtured and helped me grow as a Christian, wife, mom and friend.  Two years later, we moved from the cornfields back to the beautiful northwest and “Antioch.”  I have been involved and blessed by Antioch’s MOPS.

MOPS Night Out
7:00-9:00 p.m. @ ABC Warehouse on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays

Bi-monthly, on Thursday evenings, the ABC warehouse will be transformed into an environment for recharging, fellowship and incredible teaching.  If the Lord has you in the “mommy stage” of life, we can grow together!

MOPS is not a Bible study, however, our speakers often base their information on biblical principles. The intent of MOPS is to present information of common interest to all mothers, regardless of their religious background, and to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to bring glory to God in everything. No pre-registration is required!

MOPS is intended as an evening out for Moms to relax and recharge! Due to space and meeting constraints, we are no longer able to offer a MOPPETS program. While babes in arms are always welcome, we ask that children older than 6 months remain at home. No rooms or activities for children will be available. If this is hardship for you, please let us know! We will do all we can to assist you in this area.
