WELCOME!!!!

Welcome to Mount Ararat Baptist Church Mothers Of Preschoolers (MOPS).

  We hope you have made your way to this site because a friend recommended you, you looked us up on the MOPS website, did a google search, or heard about us at Mt. Ararat and are in need of a supportive group of moms! Our leadership team (aka steering) is hard at work preparing for what is sure to be our best MOPs year yet. We provide you with amazing speakers, wonderful child care program, and above all, God's love to each and everyone of you. So come on in and catch a break from day to day mothering ... you will not be disappointed.

  MOPs is for any mom with children from expecting through kindergarten. MOPs is a supportive group of moms just like you, walking through motherhood just like you, who love being a mom just like you. There is no age restriction, no belief restrictions or prerequisites, and no limitations to the fun we will have. 

  A normal meeting will include brunch with other wonderful moms like yourself while your child(ren) are taken care of by very wonderful certified caregivers, a craft, a speaker, or just a laid back activity. There are also other opportunities and events throughout the year to also meet up and socialize. 

  We meet on the second (2nd) and fourth (4th) Fridays of each month from 9:30-11:30, starting September 12, 2014 through the end of May. We meet in the sanctuary of Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, 1112 Garrisonville Road Stafford, VA.

Our Fees:
International Registration Fee: $24.95 for the year, paid once in the beginning.
Moms without a need for child care (MOPPETS) due to other reasons like preschool or grandparents: $35 per semester ($70 a year). 
1-2 MOPPETS: $45 a semester ($90 a year)
3+ MOPPETS: $55 a semester ($110 a year)  

Your MOPS membership includes: 

• The first copy of a one-year subscription to MOMSense Magazine (a mom magazine that will make you feel better about yourself)
• A super cute reusable shopping bag (seriously, can you have enough cute bags?), with a MOPS logo
• A DVD for your kiddos from BOZ, our favorite green bear.
• 16 - 2 hr meetings with other moms (KID FREE) , sharing in the joys, trials, and comedy that is this season of mothering
• All of your craft supplies/meeting supplies
• LOTS OF LAUGHTER
• Friendships that will last a lifetime!  

Seriously, what a worthy investment in YOURSELF!! And you deserve this!!!
