Maples Memorial UMC Youth Ministry exists to serve students that are in 6th – 12th grades. Every youth is invited to be a part of our group. The youth ministry atmosphere is a warm and welcoming fellowship, making everyone feel at home. We nurture discipleship in our youth by studying God's word, serving our community and world with our gifts and talents, worshiping through singing and praising, and living our lives as an example to the rest of the world! Lots of things are happening within this ministry. Come join us for our weekly gatherings on Sundays and Wednesdays!

Youth Girls Grades 6-12:
We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00pm at the church in the Girl's Small Group room. There will be a meal, fun, fellowship, and deep spiritual discussion. God's goodness, love, and mission is something we believe should be shared intimately and in connection with his people, so this is our purpose! Meetings start at the beginning of the semester through the end of the semester. Everyone should join, so don't hesitate to bring a friend!
