About Us


We are a fairly new chapter of Mother’s of Preschoolers (MOPS) started at First Christian Church in Elizabethtown, KY, during the summer of 2006. Our chapter is one of nearly 4,000 around the US and 29 countries around the world. Our mission is to connect with all mothers of children ages birth through kindergarten and support each other through these formative years in our children’s lives.

While some of our curriculum is based on Christian principles, MOPS is not a Bible study and you do not have to attend a church or be a Christian to attend. We welcome all mothers of preschoolers, regardless of age, race, or socio-economic background. Being a mom to little ones connects us together!

During our meetings, we eat our own food without cutting it into little pieces, have “adult” conversation, listen to speakers and share ideas, and do crafts that don’t involve crayons, play-doh or cleaning fingerpaints off walls!

If you’d like to join us, please contact a steering team member and check out our calendar to see our listing of meetings.


We provide childcare too!
