MOPS

SBPC's MOPS program (for expectant moms - mothers of Kindergarteners) is currently full for 2023-2024; however, often mom's plans change, so we strongly encourage anyone still interested in joining to click here to sign up for the waitlist as we are often able to add additional moms throughout the year.

MOPS International exists to encourage, equip and develop every mother of preschoolers to realize her potential as a woman, mother and leader in the name of Jesus Christ.

MOPS International’s goal is to “build circles of women who love each other like family, because raising humans is beautiful and hard, and having each other to lean on is life-giving. Connecting women to meet together to laugh, cry and embrace the journey of being a mom” MOPS is a positive and supportive program designed to nurture expecting moms through mothers of kindergartners.

Solana Beach MOPS is a non-denominational group chartered through Solana Beach Presbyterian Church.

Solana Beach MOPS meets two Friday mornings per month. Meetings consist of a potluck brunch, inspiring speakers on a variety of topics, occasional service projects or creative activities, and small group discussion. Children 2 months and older are lovingly cared for in our MOPPETS children’s program, including structured time for kids 2 years & older where they will sing songs, hear Bible stories, make crafts, eat snack, enjoy free play, and more!

If you want to connect with other moms but can’t participate on Friday mornings due to work, schedule conflicts, or registration hitting capacity, we encourage you to join “Friends of Solana Beach MOPS” where you will be included on MOPS Playdates and Mom’s Night Out events, get info on future registration, and receive updates from Solana Beach MOPS about ways to connect with the local community. You can also visit the Solana Beach MOPS website to listen to audio recordings of past speakers.

You can also participate in Small Groups at SBPC. There are a variety of Small Groups for women and/or couples with young children that meet in the evenings, as well as a mom’s group that meets at SBPC with childcare on Wednesday Mornings.

Are you a first-time mom of an infant or do you know one? This is such a beautiful, transformational, and often overwhelming time in life! First-time moms with infants or first-time expectant moms in their third trimester are invited to join us the first Thursday of each month, from 10:00AM-11:30AM in RM 112 (located on the lower level of the Children's Ministries building). Bring your infant or come solo, receive support and encouragement, and enjoy community and connection with other moms in this same unique season of life. Coffee and bagels will be provided, no cost or registration required.
