The Maples | Helping adolescent women in Baton Rouge | themaplesbr.org

The Maples is a local residential treatment facility for girls ages 13-18 who are living with mental health disorders. This treatment facility is staffed with mental health professionals whose goals are to provide therapies that treat the whole person and set them on the road to recovery.

In their effort to treat the whole person, The Maples offers a variety of behavioral and addiction therapies as well as equine therapy, art and music therapy, yoga, mindfulness training and family therapy sessions. They also employ an Educational Director that facilitates an online school program by coordinating with each resident’s school.



Our VBS mission is to help support their programs by donating art supplies and snacks. Throughout VBS week we will be collecting the following: 

Art Supplies

Small canvas panels and small stretched canvases

Construction paper

Sharpie markers, fine tip markers, brush markers

Oil pastel paint

A variety of brushes

KingArt gel sticks

Snacks (individually wrapped packages)

Goldfish and/or Cheez-Its'

Little Debbie cakes, Rice Krispie treats

Pretzels, chips 

Fruit gummies

Any snack you might put in your child’s school lunch

You can help support these young ladies on their road to wellness by dropping off supplies in the sanctuary today or next week in the mornings.

Summer Sermon Series

Have you ever found yourself looking for an exit ramp? Well, mark your calendars! Beginning June 11^th, we are going to open our Bibles to Exodus 1:1 and enter into the greatest exodus story ever told! At first blush, you might be thinking that this is just history, old news, has nothing to do with me. But this story is far more than history. This story is not just the story of the Hebrews, it is in reality, our story. This story is also not just the story of the giving of the Law, it is in reality, the story of the giving of the Gospel. Exodus is often referred to as "The Law of Moses." However, in Hebrew the word is actually Torah, which does mean law in the narrow sense, but in the broader sense it means instruction. In Exodus, we see how God saved the people before He even gave them the law, and instructing them on what it means to be His people! Ultimately, we see to what extent God was willing to go to make a people His own, in giving His own Son, Jesus Christ. If you are looking for that exit ramp, come and let's take a look at the burning bush as we follow Jesus together.
