MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers)! We aim to provide a place where you can relax, find support in your role of mothering, and enjoy the company of other moms of preschoolers. We are glad you are here and hope you find it a positive experience for you and your children.

We are sponsored by the community of First Presbyterian Church in Tacoma. Click here for map.

DUES

A $20 fee at the time of registration is due in order to hold a spot at MOPS. This fee is submitted to MOPS International which in turn will send you a bi-monthly "Mom Sense" magazine and some fun and free goodies at the beginning of the year.

In addition, dues of $70 are collected at the beginning of the year. Our finance coordinator, Kimberly Mitchell, will be happy to assist you. A prompt payment is greatly appreciated!

Please do not let the cost prevent you from coming to MOPS. Full and partial scholarships are available and are based on need. Talk to Kimberly or your table leader for a scholarship.

POLICIES

We realize that due to varying circumstances (sickness, family emergency, vacation, etc.), you may miss a MOPS meeting. Because at times we have a waiting list, it is our policy to give away your space if you miss two consecutive meetings without explanation. Please keep in touch with your table leader should this situation arise.

We love to bring friends to MOPS! We wish we had room for all moms. However, because at times we have a waiting list, please contact Rachel Boville to ask about space availability before inviting a friend.
