Mike Smith
Pastor
“It is one of the greatest blessings of my life to pastor Maple Street Church of God, and my heart’s deepest desire is to lead this congregation with the love of Christ, the wisdom of His Word, and a faithful commitment to see every soul grow in grace and fulfill God’s purpose.”
Nancy Smith
Pastor’s Wife
Children’s Church Leader
“It is a privilege to lead Children’s Church at Maple Street Church of God, where our hearts are committed to teaching every child that they are unconditionally loved by God, deeply valued in His eyes, while being equipped with a strong foundation in His Word to guide them throughout their lives.”
Lane Gregory
Worship Leader
“True worship requires us to lift God the highest, and humble ourselves the lowest.”
Rita Baker
Sunday School Superintendent
“I feel honored to serve as Sunday School Superintendent at Maple Street. I believe that Sunday School offers a foundation for a healthy Christian life. I still remember going to Sunday School as a small child: the songs and lessons remain embedded in my heart and soul.”
Darren Smith
Element 412 Youth Pastor
“We see an exodus of youth leaving the church at an alarming rate. It is my personal mission to equip the youth of Maple Street with evidence, knowledge, and wisdom to take back ground for the kingdom of God! 1 Peter 3:15 says to be prepared to make a defense for the hope that you have in Christ. That is our uncompromising standard of faith.”
Josh Gay
Faith Followers Leader
A man who once believed he had no purpose, who found purpose in Christ (Rom. 8:29). Now seeking to help others understand not only what the Word says but why it says it; through deeper understanding, we strengthen our walk with the Lord.
Brenda Whitaker
Faith Followers Leader
“I love teaching because I get to help students grow in their faith and build a strong relationship with God. It’s such a blessing to encourage them, share God’s word, and watch them discover how wonderful His love is for themselves.”
Melissa Combs
Connection Team Leader
Coming to a new church can make people feel nervous or intimidated. Myself, the connections team, and the church and I want to take that barrier away. All are welcome in the house of the Lord. We want everyone to feel the love of Christ the moment they step through the door. So come as you are! It doesn’t matter if you come by yourself or you bring family and friends. You’ll be met with a heartfelt smile, a warm welcome, a new friend, and most importantly, the love of Christ. We hope to not only welcome you to the family of Maple Street but to the family of Jesus.
Howard Woolum
Bus Ministry Leader
“My vision for the Bus Ministry at Maple Street Church of God is to reach the lost, bring souls to Christ, and provide a safe and welcoming ride to the house of God, so that every person we bring has the opportunity to experience His love and hear His Word.”
We’d love to meet you.
