What Happens at a Teen MOPS meeting?

Teen MOPS is led by moms past their teen years who can share their love and experience with young moms.

Teen MOPS offers biblically based teaching but it is not a bible study.

This is a group where you can meet other young moms, have some fun, and get some great advice from older moms!

All meetings encourage young mothers to share their joys, fears, and frustrations while knowing that their children are well taken care of in the MOPPETTS program. We provide a meal for the older children, and our child care is free of charge!!
