Welcome

This is the place where the MOPS leaders in Northwest Texas can get information on area events, download area newsletters, network with other groups and more.

We also plan to have a Facebook page created by the end of September. We will invite all the leaders and there you can privately share pictures, ideas, etc.

Networking our groups together will help us all create stronger groups. If you have any questions, please let Leah (Community Networker) or Amy (Community Coach) know.

Who we are: MOPS International is here to come alongside mothers of preschoolers to encourage, equip and develop them to be the best moms possible

What Does a MOPS Group Look Like? A MOPS group is a dynamic, inviting environment where women can come - just as they are - to build friendships, be encouraged and gain practical parenting strategies. Every group is different depending on a variety of things. There is no cookie cutter idea of what a MOPS group has to be. Whether the group meets in the morning or evening, at a cafe or church, prison, school, or home we invite EVERY mother of preschooler. Whether there are 5, 15, 0r 50 women - MOPS is for every mother of a preschooler (pregnancy through kindergarten). We encourage groups to outreach to that "every" MOPS.

Why start a MOPS group? Because MOPS meets moms' needs. MOPS is unique in its specific focus on mothers of preschoolers and understanding the needs of these critical years. MOPS has developed a relational program designed to meet those needs.

Because MOPS is for every mother of preschoolers. MOPS is an open door to every community. It successfully meets the needs of both churched and unchurched moms, in urban centers or rural towns, moms of every age, ethnic background and lifestyle.

Because MOPS grows leaders. MOPS provides a place for women to grow as leaders by working with one another. With leadership resources provided by MOPS International and a team atmosphere to work in, mothers are encouraged to take an active role in their group.
