Maples MUMC Welcomes You!
God Loves you, and so do we!
Here at Maples, we believe in God the Father, maker of Heaven and Earth, and in His Son Jesus Christ, who died and rose again for our sins, and in the Holy Spirit, who remains present within our lives and guides us. We believe that the Sprit has placed people in your life that you're meant to bring closer to Christ, just as others have had you placed in their lives. We believe that everyone has a place at God's table, and that no one should be barred from God.
You are invited. Come and join our family!
Sunday Morning Services
-
9:00 Service - The Connection
The Connection offers a more contemporary service experience, complete with a praise band, projector screen, and free coffee bar. It's often favored by people who like worship services to have a casual feel, and more experimental methods of worship. It has the same feel as attending a freshly planted church. The connections you make here are personal, you will feel seen, and you will come to know God in a more intimate way. You can attend this service at 9:00 in the Main Sanctuary on Sunday mornings and on select accoustic worship nights. -
11:00 Service - Traditions
Our 11:00 service is called "Traditions." It offers a traditional worship service, complete with an organ, a choir, and printed hymn books. We loosely follow the Methodist Book of Worship when building the Traditions service. It's often favored by people who prefer their services to be high worship. You will be blown away by the bombastic energy and the quiet introspection we can have in this service. It's located in the Sanctuary at 11:00 on Sunday mornings, but you can also view it using our Livestream page.
We highly encourage you to attend one of our services in person! While our online campus is a high priority for us, there's nothing that quite matches the in-person connection you can make at Maples. Our congregation really is like a family, and we love nothing more than making others feel like they're at home! If you're visiting, please let us get to know you more by filling our the yellow information card in your bulletin, and by talking with Pastor Stephen or Pastor Sam in the narthex after a service!
