What is MOPS?

MOPS is a place for women to make friends, share experiences, laugh together and receive understanding and gentle encouragement.

MOPS groups are run by mothers for mothers of preschoolers. Our program includes an encouraging message, time for ladies to gather and talk in small groups, a craft and a variety of other activities intended to deepen friendships and spiritual growth.

MOPS is a refreshing break from child care responsibilities to gather with other ladies over craft projects, refreshments and conversation while the kids are engaged in a stimulating and fun program of their own, MOPpets.

Crossroads MOPS meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month, September through May, from 9:30-11:30am at Crossroads Fellowship.

What is MOPPETS?

MOPPETS is the MOPS children's program. While moms are enjoying their morning program, our children are cared for in age appropriate classes. This is a fun time for the kids. They are lovingly entertained with games, crafts, songs, Bible stories and snacks.

Home schooled children with preschool siblings are provided a room for them to work. Moppets does not have a program for the homeschoolers, mothers of these children are responsible for monitoring their activities. For more information: MOPPETS
