MOPS Purpose Statement:
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 Faith Position Statement:
MOPS International is a Christian non-profit
organization that believes in working with local Christian churches/parachurches
to maximize ministry opportunities to God’s Kingdom. MOPS programs are chartered
in churches of many different denominations and Christian traditions, but all
share the common desire to reach out with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to
bring glory to God in everything.
Churches/parachurches and individual MOPS ministry leaders must embrace and
agree on the basic, orthodox truths of the Christian faith and the essential
issues of salvation. We believe the Bible is the foundation for these truths. It
is God’s Word, uniquely and fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, and is
authoritative on all matters on which it speaks. MOPS International is committed
to telling the truth of the saving work of Jesus Christ, of God’s grace to
mankind, of the reality of the Trinity, and the role of the Church in God’s plan
for the world. These foundational Christian beliefs are reflected in many of the
historic church creeds.
By agreeing with this statement a church is affirming that they too believe in
and teach the foundational truths of the Christian gospel. Because these beliefs
are foundational to the ministry of MOPS International, MOPS International
reserves the right to have final authority on the granting of charters.
