A word about Maranatha Bible Church

I am so glad we have a pastor who will preach on the tough topics, and stays with what the Bible says. We really enjoy the small church feel Maranatha has, that so many people get involved with many activities at Maranatha , but there is still room for more people to help out in many areas.
