I pray that God will prompt you to join the Children’s Ministry team today!”

“As the parent of Jr. High boys who have begun to serve in children's ministry we have been so blessed to see how their mindsets have shifted from receiving to giving. This service has given them the opportunity to look differently at their walks with God, understanding what it means to encourage others and be encouraged in our walks.
Through this opportunity they have also been able to learn responsibility and compassion as they get experience contributing with younger children." - Jared Burke

"My time in Children's Ministry has given me the opportunity to meet so many
Maranatha families and be a part of their path to following Christ. I have seen kids grow both in stature and in faith and am happy to offer a warm and welcome smile when they get to the Fellowship Hall on Sunday mornings. It's been very rewarding to be of service." - Grant Tondro

"I am reminded of an old hymn... tell me the stories of Jesus, write on my heart every word. I love to see the faces of the kids as they watch the videos, participate in the Skits, sing in worship, play games and do crafts. They absorb so much as we retell the story. My own heart is joyful with even the small nuggets of hugs, smiles and willingness to share." - Judy Fizzard
