MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. As a ministry of New Hope Presbyterian Church, MOPS of Fort Myers is a network of women dedicated to the message that “mothering matters.” MOPS celebrates motherhood and desires to create an environment where mothers of all ages and backgrounds feel welcome, supported, and able to build relationships with others and with Christ. Mothers of young children need support and encouragement, MOPS is designed to provide that through fellowship with other mothers, special programs and the support of Mentor Moms. Meetings are designed to encourage, develop, and provide resources for moms, whatever their stage, from expectant mothers to mothers with children from infancy through kindergarten.
Mentor Moms are important aspect of this ministry. These experienced women meet with the MOPS moms on a regular basis to provide encouragement, and motherly guidance.
If you would like to get to know other mothers traveling your same journey, MOPS meets on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at 9:30 am in the Fellowship Hall. For more information, or if you’re interested in becoming involved as a Mentor Mom, call the church office at 239.274.1230.
MOPPETS—a service provided by New Hope’s Early Childhood Ministry—offers childcare while moms enjoy the meetings. Every child will be nurtured in a loving environment. They will be encouraged to play in a group setting and learn to be independent of their mothers. Each child will be guided in positive experiences with fun age appropriate activities including lively Bible lessons, crafts, and games. A light snack is provided for the children.
