Our Strange Name

Maranatha is a Greek word that can be found in the last chapter of the book of Revelations. It means “Come Lord Jesus”. Our church is name Maranatha because we believe that “church” is all about the Presence of Christ in the lives of believers, and our desire is for Him to come into our lives, into our families and into the community around us to bring transformation and blessing.

• Acts 17:28 For in Him we live and move and have our being
• Matt. 18:20 Wherever two or three gather together in my Name, there am I with them.

We see our Sunday worship service as an act of gathering around Jesus Christ to worship Him, to hear from Him, and to interact with Him through His Holy Sprit.

Our Mission Statement

To abide in Jesus Christ, to function as His body, and to fill our world with His Presence.

We believe that together with the universal Church around the world, we are the body of Christ and the physical manifestation of His Presence in the world. For that reason, this is our mission statement:

Sharing the mind of Christ so that people will know His character and His ways
Seeking His heart through worship and prayer
Becoming His hands to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people
Being His voice as we proclaim the Gospel to the lost
Moving as His body in unified fellowship
