The Maple Heights United Methodist Church was founded June 30, 1946. The first services were held in the basement of Stafford School. and later moved to Broadway School gymnasium.  November 13, 1949 the church held a ground breaking ceremony at its present location.  As the church grew, to over 1150 members, a need also became apparent that with over 900 children enrolled in Sunday school, more room would be needed.

A ground breaking ceremony April 24, 1955, began construction of the education wing to the building.  Sunday July 24, the corner stone was laid with a time capsule included.

The first mortgage for the church was burned during services on January 28, 1955.  This service was conducted by Rev. Bright, along with Gerald Armstrong, church treasurer, and Wm. Brown, trustee.

The church's bell was dedicated on December, 1956, and remains working to call people to worship.

As times have changed, this church has continued the tradition of offering a traditional service to anyone walking in the door.  We have a chancel choir and bell choir, which adds to the beauty of the services.

The Maple Heights United Methodist Church has a strong connection to the community.
