Our local chapter is chartered by Jacksonville Bible Church at 501 Anne St. Meetings are held from 10-12 on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month.

This year's theme is "God's Wonderful Creation". Snacks are provided for the preschoolers. (There is a $25 fee per semester per family so that we can pay our valuable staff.)
• There is a homeschool class for your elementary aged children to attend as well. This year our theme is arts and sciences and we will illustrate some Biblical principles through hands on experiments and creative fun. Children will need a spiral notebook to serve as their "Lab Journal". They are welcome to bring a snack. (There is a $25 fee per year per family to pay for supplies for the homeschool class.)
• While your kids are having fun- you will have your own! Moms enjoy brunch together, fellowship and friendship, games and creative activities, and discuss important topics that you are sure to encounter on your journey as a mom. Our goal at MOPS is to provide a temporary escape where you can spend some time focusing on your own personal growth and development of meaningful relationships with other moms.
If your are currently in this season of life, and would like to provide an opportunity for some quality learning experiences and group interactions for your kids, then please visit our website of join us for any meeting.
