Our Tween Ministry is a space designed for 5th and 6th graders to deepen their faith and form connections with one another! Our Tweens meet for Discipleship Hour from 9:55-10:45, and for Tweens on Sunday afternoons from 4:00-5:30 PM. In addition to regular Sunday meetings, we go on an annual retreat and quarterly outings as a group!
PRESCHOOL PRAISE AND PLAY
The first Saturday of the month (from September until May) our Preschool age kids and their families meet on the playground for a time of Praise and Play. Each month has a theme with a fun activity and snack to go along with it. Join us at 10am the first Saturday of the month for a time of community. For those days when the weather doesn't cooperate, we move our gathering into the gym (Craven Hall).

SAFE SANCTUARY POLICY
Maple Springs celebrates its children, youth, and the adults who serve with them. Safe Sanctuaries is an initiative of the United Methodist Church to adopt policies and procedures to make sure your child is safe and monitored at all times. Maple Springs is committed to creating a caring, nurturing, and safe environment for all of our children, youth, and the adults who minister them. If you would like to read more detail about our Safe Sanctuary policy, please click the button below.
CHILDCARE
Nursery is provided during all worship services for children preschool age and younger. We strive to provide childcare at such a level that parents are at ease leaving their children to attend worship. It is also important to us that a parent is not kept from attending a function at Maple Springs because of lack of childcare We try our best to provide childcare for children up through 5th grade when there is a church event being offered.
RELATIONAL EVENTS
Throughout the year, children's ministries celebrate a variety of special activities together. Events such as musicals, Pumpkin Patch Palooza, Advent Workshop, and Easter Eggstravaganza help keep us connected in fun ways!
