    MOPS Ministry
    MOPS Ministry provides a Christ-centered, caring ministry for expectant mothers and mothers of pre-schoolers and their children. It develops friendships, creativity, leadership training, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The Maywood family is encouraged to invite their unchurched friends and neighbors. Many women start at MOPS with their children and consequently come back for church with their entire families.

    The children's program (MOPPETS) is for children from birth to age 5. It is a constructive, organized program that includes crafts, Bible story time, snack time, video time, gym time, rest time, and plenty of play. The desire is to minister to the children as well as to the mothers.

    This ministry is based on Proverbs 27:17,
    "As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another."

    and Proverbs 22:6,
    "Train a child in the way he should go, and
    when he is old he will not turn from it."

    Women's Ministry
    The purpose of the Women's Ministry is to nurture women so they know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior, grow in the knowledge of God and in the fruit of the Spirit (in Christian maturity), and sow the truth of the Gospel in Christian Service. This ministry is for all women of Maywood.

    AWANA - Children's Ministries
    The focus of the AWANA Ministry is to reach boys and girls with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to train them to hide God's Word in the hearts through Bible verse memorization. The program is for boys and girls ages 3 through high school.

    Highlights of the ministry include seeing boys and girls accept Jesus Christ as their Savior, memorizing God's Word, applying the lessons from the weekly devotional and competing in the AWANA olympics.

    This ministry is based on II Timothy 2:15:

    "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does
    not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the word of truth."
