MOMCo is an international organization that gathers and supports moms. They believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen when moms come together. Formally known as MOPS, they rebranded themselves in 2024 to have a broader inclusion of all moms including pregnant moms, moms with infants, preschoolers and school aged children.
​
MOMCo meets twice a month at Soapstone UMC for fellowship discussing various topics such as motherhood, discipline, finances, marriage, yoga, etc. Pleasant Grove hosts one of two standing playdates each month. They also have mom's night out at a local venue or restaurant and craft nights twice a year.

We believe that God calls us to make our churches safe places, protecting children and other vulnerable persons from sexual and ritual abuse. God calls us to create communities of faith where children and adults grow safe and strong. Through this belief PGUMC has established a Safe Sanctuary policy.
