Crossgates - Expect To Encounter HIM

Mothers of Preschoolers...because mothering matters

Better Moms Make A Better World

What is MOPS?

MOPS is an international organization that exists to encourage mothers who have children under age six.  It is a place where moms have the opportunity to make new friends, laugh together, and learn Biblical principles pertaining to womanhood, marriage and parenting.

Who Can Come to MOPS?

Any mother with a child from birth to kindergarten may attend MOPS.  Also, a mother expecting her first child may attend MOPS.  Every mother of a preschooler is welcome:  young or "seasoned", married or single, working or stay-at-home.  Mothers of all denominations, as well as mothers who do not attend church, are welcome.

Is Childcare Provided?

Childcare is provided for children under first grade, AND for home-schooled children up to 5th grade. Advance reservations are required.  Reservations are due the Monday prior to the MOPS meeting, and must be made each month.  Click on childcare reservations to sign your child up for the upcoming meeting.

When & Where is MOPS?

MOPS meets the 2nd Monday of every month from September to May from 9:00 - 11:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall.

Is there a cost involved?

There is also a one-time registration fee of $23.95 that goes directly to MOPS International.  This covers your MOPS to MOM Connections which entitles you to some outstanding benefits including a one year subscription to MomSense bi-monthly magazine, a VeggieTales DVD, a practical book by one of the MOPS authors, and a weekly uplifting email from MOPS International.  If you cannot afford this fee, scholarships are available.  We want you to be a part of our community!

"Where two or three come together...there I am with them." 

- Matthew 18:20

Here's what some of our moms had to say about MOPS last year:

"MOPS is a great support system and encouragement to me as I am continually looking for ways to be a better mom, wife and Christian."

"I have really enjoyed spending time with all these wonderful moms and hearing other stories which sometimes make me say "WOW"!  It is fun and always looked forward to each month."

"MOPS has made me more aware of my abilities and given me more confidence."

"I have learned so much through the different speakers; I love the fact that everything is prayerfully done.  And I love everyone I have met."

"I look forward to MOPS every month."

"I have enjoyed the friends that I have met and the subjects covered have helped me manage my mothering a bit better."
