The Bible teaches that God wants each of us to “move toward maturity in Christ.” It begins the moment you trust Jesus as your Savior, and continues for the rest of your life. It’s a process called discipleship; and at Maranatha, we believe discipleship requires four enduring commitments:

Worship God

We are called to continually worship God as a function of our daily lives (Romans 12:1-2). We also are committed to gathering each week in the company of other believers (Hebrews 10:24-25) to make joyful noise to the Lord (Psalm 98:4).

Love Others

We are devoted to one another and committed to loving each other sacrificially and unconditionally (John 13:35). Jesus teaches us to have that same love for our neighbors (Mark 12:31) and even for those who oppose us (Matthew 5:44).

Serve Joyfully

Each disciple of Jesus is called to exercise their gifting for the betterment of the Church and the advancement of the Gospel (1 Corinthians 12:12-27). We are also commanded to care for and serve our community (Jeremiah 29:7) and are committed to doing so in truth and love.

Share Christ

Our lives should reflect the grace God has given us in Jesus, as such we are committed to sharing the Gospel, in both word and deed, everywhere we go (Matthew 28: 16-20).
