At Maple Grove, we believe that the best way to spread the Word is by connecting with people.  To do this, we provide a number of opportunities for our congregation to interact within the church and to reach out to the community and the world at large.

Each Sunday morning, Maple Grove offers two Sunday School classes. The before service class starts at 9:30 am and uses video materials with discussion lead by the pastor or an experienced Sunday school instructor. The videos/DVDs align with season of the Christian year. For example, during Advent, focus might be centered on the journey Mary and Joseph took from Nazareth to Bethlehem, identifying the sites they passed through on the way to the manger. The after morning service class focuses on DVD based material which addresses the origin and evolution of Christianity and its relation to other world religions. Topics include “Understanding the New Testament”, “The Search for the Historical Jesus”, basis in Judaism, and the growth of Islam.

Both of the two classes invite active participation and lively discussion. We welcome you to join us for Sunday School at Maple Grove United Methodist Church to enjoy listening to and studying God’s Word and expanding your knowledge of Christianity and its relation to other world religions, while in the company of supportive, friendly people.

The United Women in Faith (UWF), (formerly the United Methodist Women), is an active group of women who meet monthly on the third Wednesday in the Fellowship Hall with programs presented on the yearly UWF theme.  The UMF of Maple Grove is a community of women whose purpose is to know God and to experience freedom as whole persons through Jesus Christ, to develop a creative, supportive fellowship, and to expand concepts of mission.

The United Methodist Men (UMM) host a breakfast, open to all, on the last Saturday of each month.  Guest speakers are invited to provide information on topics of interest.  In addition, the Maple Grove UMM yearly undertakes a project which benefits the local community.

After the service on the second Sunday of each month, the entire congregation gathers in the Fellowship Hall for a potluck lunch.  The conversation is always lively and the food is always excellent.
