What's new at Hope.

  1. MOPS@Hope Spring Registration is Now Open

    Here at MOPS@Hope, we gather and support moms. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come togetherOur acronym stands for “Mothers of Preschoolers” because MOPS began in 1973 when a group of moms with young children banded together to share their lives and parenting journeys. Over the past 48 years, MOPS has expanded our community to include moms with school-aged kids. In addition, we are partnering with churches and organizations worldwide to equip and encourage moms in more than 70 countries.

    We meet right in your neighborhood and we’d love to meet you. Contact Corinne with questions. corinne. forrester@g mail.com
