About US
Over the past year and a half, MOPS International has been gathering information and doing research to identify what makes MOPS, MOPS. These are the five attributes that we are using to describe the essence of the MOPS experience. The more we can replicate these attributes across all layers of the organization, the more consistent our offering to moms will be. Living out these attributes will help create a consistent, excellent MOPS experience.
Relevant– Understand the women around you, listen, and offer them the parts of MOPS that relate most to them. Being relevant is about how well we walk in someone else’s shoes, how well we “get” someone by connecting in spite of our differences. MOPS groups are relevant, so that every mom will know that MOPS is for her.
Relationally Inclusive– Do the faces in your MOPS group look like the faces in your community? That’s the goal—that our groups reflect the variety of moms around us, that we engage to include both moms like us, and make extra efforts to reach out to moms not like us. MOPS groups are relationally inclusive, so that every mom will feel welcome and accepted in community.
Growth-Oriented– Think about how MOPS has grown you in every area of your life. We have the opportunity to influence every mom coming through the doors of MOPS. She leaves MOPS a different person than when she entered—ready to face whatever challenges life will bring her way. MOPS groups are growth-oriented, so that every mom will be challenged to grow as a woman, mother and leader.
Purposeful – Better moms make a better world! That means we have MOPS groups for a purpose. We purposefully work with mothers of preschoolers. We live out our purpose together. MOPS groups are purposeful, so that every mom will know she’s part of God’s bigger purpose, picture and plan.
Passionately Christian– We lead from our center, which is Christ. Once we have personally experienced his unconditional love and grace in our lives, we are then able to extend this love and grace to others. MOPS groups are passionately Christian, so that every mom (and her family) will be drawn one step closer to Jesus

2010 - 2011 Theme - Momology
In 2010, MOPS invites you to join in the learning process as together we explore Momology: The Art and Science of Mothering.
Mothering is both art and science. It combines all of who we are to shape healthy, resilient kids. Mothering is so complex it requires both sides of our brain – not to mention our hands and feet, eyes and ears, mouth and (sniff, sniff) unfortunately, sometimes even our noses!
There's the scientific side of mothering where we develop a hypothesis based on certain principles, test that hypothesis in real-time, consider the results and decide what parts worked and what parts didn't. We keep refining our hypotheses until we find what works for us.
Intertwined with the scientific, mothering requires an artistry that shades with our personality, colors with our unique gifts, and blends past and current experiences.
MOPS International has identified four essential elements for successful outcomes with our kids.
Core is about knowing and growing ourselves. Understanding and working with our unique temperament, experiences, and emotions in a way that develops resilience. Research clearly shows that a mom with a strong, resilient core is more likely to raise a child with a strong, resilient core.
Finesse is about honing practical mothering skills—intentionally carrying out our daily responsibilities in ways that encourage growth and resilience in our kids.
Circle is about building relationships with neighbors, care-givers, extended family and, most importantly, with our husbands or for single moms, with a parenting partner.
Grandscape is about engaging with God and his unique purpose for our lives. Both secular and Christian research identifies faith in God as an essential element for successful mothering.

Through Momology, as we explore together, we’ll be guided by an all-knowing, all-powerful, always-present God. Our theme verse for the year is:
Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:10)
Anywhere we go, God sees, knows, and guides. So we can lead — and love — knowing God will get us through all the hard spots, all our decisions, all our roles, all our times we can’t hold open our eyelids and the times we’re bursting with joy. God’s hand guides us as we guide our children. As we study Momology together to become better moms making a better world.
Even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. (Psalm 139:10)
