The VISION

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers, a ministry that has been designed to help support and nurture mothers with young children from infants through kindergarten age. MOPS is an international network that helps moms with trusted resources.

A MOP recognizes that these early years are important in a child's development. These days are filled with special needs. At SCBC the MOPS ministry provides emotional and spiritual support to mothers of preschoolers from around the St. Louis area. They meet every month on the 3rd Wednesday at 9:00 am at the church. During the meeting child care is provided for preschoolers. For the Day MOPS Group, contact Heather Allen at hndzfl@aol.com For the Evening MOPS Group, contact Kathy Brutton at mrschatty@yahoo.com
