Our Story & Vision
Our Story
Maranatha Community Church began with a simple conviction:
our neighbors need Jesus, and the local church is God’s chosen means to make Him known.
From the beginning, our desire has been to be a church that is firmly rooted in the Word of God, centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ, and actively engaged in the lives of the people around us. We were not planted to build a name, a brand, or a platform—but to faithfully proclaim Christ, make disciples, and love our community in His name.
The name Maranatha comes from Scripture and means “Our Lord, come.” It reflects both our hope in Christ’s return and our urgency in sharing the gospel while there is still time. We believe Jesus is coming again, and until He does, we want to be found faithful.
Through seasons of growth, challenge, prayer, and perseverance, God has proven Himself faithful. He has sustained our church, strengthened our fellowship, and continually reminded us that the work belongs to Him.
Our Foundation
Maranatha Community Church is committed to the authority of Scripture and the centrality of the gospel.
We believe:
- The Bible is the inspired, trustworthy, and sufficient Word of God
- Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone
- The local church exists to glorify God by making disciples
- Every believer is called to live on mission in their daily life
Our worship is reverent and Christ-centered. Our Bible study is expository and practical. Our fellowship is rooted in genuine love for one another. We are not a perfect church - but we are a redeemed people learning to walk together in faith and obedience.
Our Mission
To know Christ, grow in Christ, and make Christ known—beginning with our neighbors.
We believe the gospel is not only something we proclaim from a pulpit, but something we live out in our homes, workplaces, schools, and streets. Jesus calls us to love God wholeheartedly and love our neighbors sacrificially.
We pursue this mission through:
- Faithful preaching and teaching of God’s Word
- Intentional discipleship and small-group fellowship
- Prayerful care for one another
- Personal evangelism and community outreach
We believe ordinary believers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, can make an eternal impact right where God has placed them.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a healthy, gospel-centered church that shines the light of Christ in our community.
We long to see:
- Neighbors come to faith in Jesus Christ
- Families strengthened by the truth of God’s Word
- Believers growing in spiritual maturity and boldness
- The next generation grounded in biblical truth
- Our church known not just for what we believe, but for how we love
We are not chasing numbers or trends. We are seeking faithfulness - trusting God to bring the fruit in His time.
