We get it, Motherhood is tough.

We know why you stay up late after the kids go to sleep. We, too, have felt the whiplash caused by a kicking tantrum and an “I love you mommy” in the same 3 minutes. We are right there with you during the late nights and the early mornings and the endless mental load and the constant overwhelm.

It has been for us and that’s why we started MOPS Portland. Whether you are simply new to town, a first time mom in search of true community or a seasoned pro still right in the thick of it, there is a place for you here. These truly are the best days of our life, let’s experience them together!

The gateway to the greatest and strongest friendships of your life.

But do you know what else motherhood can also be?

"MOPS was my saving grace when I moved here from Minnesota as it has led me to closest group of friends. When I felt disconnected to this new town, MOPS plugged me into the community in such a fast way. It’s also provided me with so many great resources and knowledge about motherhood that I otherwise wouldn’t have known about!"

"It has led me to my closest group of friends"

"Two years ago our family moved cross country to Portland with zero connections. I was somewhat familiar with the ministry of MOPs and just decided to give it a try. MOPS became the place where I found the deep meaningful connection and much needed relief that I was so desperately searching for. I look forward to every meeting where I get the chance to engage in uninterrupted conversations with other moms in the same season of life. MOPs has brought me to my closest friends in Portland and it has truly made us feel like we’ve found a home here. I am so grateful for MOPS and what it has done for me during motherhood."

"Being a military spouse means it can be pretty difficult to find friends at each new duty station. MOPS has always been a dependable way for me to meet new people, surround my kids with friends, and build a supportive community that I can rely on. Without MOPS, our military lifestyle would be very isolating and lonely. However, since I’ve always joined a MOPS group, I’ve always felt comfortable in a new place and that has been the greatest gift to me and my children."

Angelica Smith

"MOPS has been a through-line for me as I walked through the first year of motherhood living away from family and friends. Over the years, MOPS has given me some of my most treasured relationships and support. Gathering with fellow moms in the same season of life as me—be that over good food, listening to an encouraging speaker, or over conversation at a playdate—has been such a gift. The community MOPS has given me is among one of my biggest blessings."
