Shine | Ladies Ministry - Event currently postponed until further notice.
2020-04-21 09:00 - 10:00, 2020-04-14 09:00 - 10:00, 2020-03-31 09:00 - 10:00
Ladies, you were meant to SHINE with the light and love of Jesus. But so often the world and all of its demands drains us of the joy, love, passion, and dreams that used to burn so brightly within us. As women, we need to draw strength and encouragement from one another and most importantly, from Christ!
Shine, the Ladies Ministry at Maranatha Christian Center, is a place where women of all ages can come together to find encouragement, hope, love, and friendship. Shine consists of weekly bible studies and yearly events and outings. Join us each Tuesday, from 9am-10am at MCC.
“let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16

Easter Service Online
2020-04-12 10:30 - 12:30
As we prepare to celebrate our Risen Lord and Savior on Easter Sunday, we are doing things a little differently than any of us anticipated this year, but that doesn’t mean that the reason we celebrate is any less important and impactful! In fact, we are praying and believing that more people will come to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior this year, than ever before!!! Since we will be celebrating in our homes through our online service, we wanted to let you know that we will end the service with a special time of communion and we want to encourage you to participate in your homes with your families. All you’ll need is some grape juice and a cracker or bread of any kind. Pastor Steve will lead us through this special time together. No virus can keep us from celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! And we are reminded now more than ever before, that the church is not a building, but a people, and when we gather anywhere together, Jesus is with us.

We are asking you to set an alarm on your phone or watch each day at 7:14 AM and 7:14 PM, when will join together around the globe to pray the same weekly prayer that comes from 2 Chronicles 7:14, where God promises us that when we humble ourselves, unite in prayer and seek His face, He will hear us, He will speak, He will forgive, and He will heal our lands.

Ceitci Demirkova: Women's Event - Courage Born Out Of Connection
2019-11-10 15:00 - 18:00 | Maranatha Christian Center
Ceitci Demirkova is the Founder and CEO of the non-profit organization Ceitci Demirkova Ministries DBA Changing a Generation, dedicated to the social empowerment and educational development of orphans and underprivileged children living in impoverished communities in Eastern Europe and Africa.
On November 10th after the Sunday Morning service, Ceitci will return Sunday afternoon for a special Women’s Event, from 3:00 – 5:30
The message is tiltled: Courage born out of connection
We are wired for connection through relationship. Relationship with God and with one another. By learning how to establish proper integration of God’s truth in every area of our life, as His daughters, we will walk in greater freedom and in return liberate others. As Ceitci shares some of her personal experiences intertwined with God’s word, we will learn how to walk courageously; we will discover the five primary needs we have and how to meet them; and we will experience Christ’s empowerment to live a fulfilled and purposeful life.
Mark your calendars now and join us for this great opportunity to go deeper and be a part of a time of ministry that could be life changing.
*This event is open to the public. Girls and women of all ages are welcome to come! However, we will not be providing childcare for this event.
