Steering Committee

MOPS at Fellowship Bible Church is managed by a Steering Team of 8 – 12 volunteers all specializing in the various areas in MOPS. These mothers of preschoolers themselves volunteer many hours of time and effort to create a refreshing, relaxing, and supportive atmosphere for the moms and their children at each MOPS meeting.

In addition to the two MOPS meetings per month, these ladies attend Steering Team meetings, MOPS leadership training sessions, retreats, and various MOPS International meetings throughout the year.
