Resources: The KHC MOPS newsletter provides upcoming events and other important information. Please see the King's Harbor Church website for more information about the church: www.kingsharbor.org. If you want more information about MOPS International, please go online to www.mops.org. And of course, this site http://khcmops.blogspot.com/ is updated often with all kinds of Mom related information!
 
Discussion Groups: Topics brought up during discussion group time can be quite personal in nature. Please remember to keep the confidentiality of other moms. Every mom should feel safe sharing and not have to worry about it being repeated outside our discussion groups. Remember, "What happens at MOPS, stays as MOPS!"
 
We have a no "husband bashing" policy. We consider the marriage relationship sacred and we need to work to build up each other and encourage strong family bonds. If there are issues that you need to talk to someone about regarding your marriage, we ask that you contact a member of the Steering Team or a Mentor Mom.


"I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.  And I pray that you being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Amen." 

Ephesians 3:16-21

MOPS Statement of Faith

MOPS Statement of Faith
 
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 to 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.
 
We Believe:
 
†   There is one God eternally existing in three persons:  Father, Son and Holy Spirit
(John 14: 16-17, Matthew 28:19).  We believe Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (Matthew 1:18 & 23).
 
†   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 (II Peter 1:20-21,
II Timothy 3:16-17).
 
†   Jesus came into this world to redeem us by offering himself as the substitutionary sacrifice for our sins; he died for us; and he demonstrated his victory over sin and death by rising physically from the dead and ascending to heaven (Romans 5:8-9, Romans 6:23,
I Corinthians 15:1-4).
 
†   The result of this saving work of Christ is that salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 2:16).
 
†   We further believe that the fulfillment of God's plan of redemption will begin with the visible personal return of Christ to judge the world and separate believers and unbelievers forever, and will culminate in a new creation (Acts 1:11, I Thessalonians 4:16-17, Acts 24:15, Revelation 20:15, Romans 6:23).
 
†   We believe that God chooses to work through the believers in his church and that we are called to evangelism and discipling of believers within the fellowship of the church
(Matthew 28:19-20, I Peter 2:9).
