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
