What Is Teen MOPS?
Teen MOPS
provides a faith-based, supportive, and nonjudgmental
environment where teen mothers can come together with
others who are in a similar life situation. Through the
relationships formed at Teen MOPS, young moms gain
confidence, learn about
mothering, and grow personally.
Teen
MOPS is a special time to focus on you, but peace of mind is
good too. New infants and nursing babies can be kept with
you. We ask that older and mobile babies be checked in with
our loving childcare staff. Pagers for children are
provided, so you’ll know if they need you!
