Mission
We are a people committed to “Reaching up” in our total dependence on Jesus Christ, “Reaching Within” as we grow to model Christ in all aspects of living, and “Reaching out” by inviting a hurting world to a place of health and healing in Christ.
Begun for the cause of Christ as a Methodist missional outpost in the year 1840, Maples’ mission remains the same, today: making disciples of Jesus Christ.
We encourage the embracing of Biblical life-values, intentional spiritual formation, sharing God’s gifts and providing an individual witness of Christ to the world. We believe it is the duty of the church to bring the community together around Christ, and to in that mindset, we offer community outreach and an open invitation to all Maples' events.
