Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS)

Eight women gathered. The number was small, but the need was great. The first MOPS meeting took place in February 1973 in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. For two hours, while their children received care, these mothers talked, laughed, ate, passed a basket for childcare expenses, had a craft demonstration and ended with a short devotional. In this humble beginning, the seeds of the MOPS concept and format were planted. Through friendship, creative outlets, and instruction, the women began to understand that “mothering matters.” Today, the same needs for significance are met in much the same way in MOPS groups across the United States and around the world.

Bear Creek United Methodist Church has a vibrant MOPS group and we want YOU to be a part of it! Register for the BCUMC MOPS (Mothers of PreSchoolers) group!
