Maranatha Chapel is a non-denominational Christian church whose sole purpose is to Love God, and Love People. At Maranatha we seek transformation in ourselves, our community, and our world through the power of the Gospel.
We promise to preach the whole word of God, worship in the joy of the Holy Spirit, equip everyone to be authentic followers of Jesus, and proclaim the coming kingdom of God.

We begin each of our services with a time of worship which consists of signing praise songs to God. This is followed by a brief introduction and time for announcements and offering.

We end all of our services with the reciting of the Aaronic blessing, found in Numbers 6:22-27.
