Planning Your Visit:

One of our greatest privileges as a congregation is to celebrate Christ's resurrection from the dead each and every Sunday - Jesus Christ died and was raised so that sinners would be reconciled to God. This is the good news we have a passion to proclaim, live, and share. We invite you to join us Sundays at 10:00am (or come at 9am for Sunday School classes for all ages!).

What to Expect:

Maple Grove has always been a place where we keep it very simple. It’s relaxed but focused. We don’t need to be flashy or put on big productions for people to meet God. We believe that Jesus is enough. Here’s what you can expect during a typical worship gathering:

Singing
One of our greatest joys is to sing together each week. Singing is a command from Christ for all His people and a great blessing from Him. In the public gathering of the saints, we get to sing songs that declare God’s truth and promises. We sing the great hymns of the faith from all eras of Christian history, the psalms from God's Word, and newer praise songs. As we sing, our focus is not on ourselves, or the people around us, but on the mighty God who made us and calls us to Himself. He is worthy of worship, so no matter what kind of voice you have, sing out with all of your heart!

Preaching
We believe that the Bible is the ultimate authority for all of life. When God's Word is preached and taught, God is glorified, man is humbled, Jesus is honored, and lives are changed. 2 Timothy 4:2 says, “Preach the word. Be ready in season and out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.” The kind of preaching and teaching that God desires must convince, rebuke, and exhort. This isn't always the thing our sinful hearts want to be confronted with, but if we are careful not to turn our hearts from hearing truth, Godly preaching will not only convict our sinful hearts but heal them. Sermons at Maple Grove are generally expositional, meaning that they seek to declare the point of a particular Biblical passage. All of our preaching is driven by the Gospel, the Bible’s main message of God saving sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sermons usually last around 45 minutes.

Prayer
One of the greatest privileges we have as followers of Jesus is being able pray with boldness and confidence. Each Sunday we have a time for sharing prayer requests and praying together as a Church.

The Lord’s Supper
The Lord’s Supper is a visible proclamation of the Gospel. In the Lord’s Supper we see, touch, and taste a sign of the promises of Jesus, that His body really was broken for us, and His blood really was shed for us. We are reminded of His death for our sin, and are given a picture of what we will experience one day in heaven when we see Jesus’ face to face, and share in a feast with Him and all the saints. In the Lord’s Supper, when we receive it by faith and with a clean conscience, we get to spiritually enjoy a meal with the Lord. His presence is with us as we eat together with the church. Therefore, the Lord’s Supper is a visible, physical proclamation of the Word about Jesus. Those who receive it in a worthy manner enjoy its benefits while the rest are warned of the judgements of God against unrepentant sinners and those who would bring division into the church. At Maple Grove, we celebrate the Lord’s Supper together every week after the message. We welcome all baptized Christians who actively trust Jesus for salvation, are willing to turn away from their sin, and who seek to walk in humble submission to the Lord Jesus Christ, to receive Communion with us.

Giving
If you are a visitor, please do not feel obligated to give anything financially – you are our guest and we are honored to have you.

What Should I Wear?
At Maple Grove, some wear suits and ties others wear blue jeans and t-shirts. There’s no set dress code, just be yourself, we’re a family.

What About My Kids?
Maple Grove is a family-friendly environment. We believe that children are a blessing from God and are a vital part of every local church. As such, we do not offer any “children’s church” during the regular service (we DO have Sunday School for all ages at 9am!). During the sermon, a nursery is provided for children under the age of 3, and we invite you to make use of that if it’s helpful to you. We know that having kids in worship with us brings some extra “kid noise” with it – and we like it that way. Families are encouraged to worship together, and we love having families with kids of all ages worshiping together with us!
