MOPS 

MOPS stands for Mothers of Preschoolers. MOPS International exists to meet the needs of every mom--urban, suburban and rural moss, stay-at-home and working moms, teen, single and married moms--moms with different lifestyles who all share a similar desire to be the very best moms they can be!

MOPS recognizes that the years from infancy through kindergarten are foundational in a mother-child relationship and are filled with unique needs.

MOPS helps moms through relationships established in the context of local groups that provide a caring atmosphere for today's mother of young children.

Women's Discipleship/The Spiritual Spa

WELCOME to Women’s Discipleship at Shalom! As a part of Shalom, Women’s Discipleship shares in the overall purpose of our church… “to glorify God by making more devoted followers of Jesus Christ.” Our desire is to meet women where they are in their spiritual journey, help them grow in their relationship with God and encourage them to pass on to others the faith He has developed within them along the way. There are 3-4 different Bible studies that are available on Tuesday mornings and one Bible study offered one evening per week September- early December, with new offerings available January – early May. Ministry and care for children is provided for infants through kindergarten for the women attending Tuesday morning electives, for a small fee. Crib babies and toddlers are lovingly cared for by dedicated nursery workers. Preschool & kindergarten age children will enjoy regular weekly activities including stories, singing, crafts and treats. We invite you to join us this year as we anticipate all God will do in and through each one of us. Contact the church for information about current studies. Tami Smithee Coordinator
