KIDS MINISTRY The mission of Maranatha’s Kids Ministry is to assist families in imparting gospel truths that speak directly to the hearts of children. We desire to provide children and families with a God-centered, Christ-exalting, Scripture-saturated view of themselves and the world around them. We are currently offering three classes at all of our gatherings and at both locations. Toddler (Ages 1-3) Pre-School Age (Ages 4-7) School Age (Ages 8-12) When you arrive at Maranatha, look for the kids check-in booth in the Welcome Room. Here you will sign your child/children into the appropriate classroom. At the kids check-in booth you will have the opportunity to meet our volunteers and receive more details about our Kids Ministry. We value family integrated worship at Maranatha, for this reason, our children remain in our main gathering space with their families until after the first set of songs. Kids are dismissed to their classrooms during the passing of the peace. Kids Ministry Volunteers will form lines for all three classrooms in the Welcome Room during this time and walk the children to their appropriate classroom. During class time, we utilize “The Gospel Project” curriculum. Kids will study the Bible chronologically and see the gospel of Jesus Christ revealed throughout all of scripture with weekly Bible lessons, activities, and crafts. When the gathering has concluded, parents should report to the Kids booth and sign their child out. Kids are not permitted to leave the classroom until a parent/authorized guardian has signed them out. All Kids Ministry Volunteers must be members of Maranatha Community Church. Additionally, every Kids Ministry Volunteer has a background check on file with the church.

Discover the heart behind our building project as we share our journey, purpose, and vision. Find ways to get involved with what God is doing in and through Maranatha. OUR BUILDING PROJECT With an estimated population of 25,921 in 2024, the Pickerington community has grown in size by over 13% since we officially launched in the area. This makes Pickerington one of the fastest-growing areas in Ohio. Due to the growth of our city and the multiplication of our church body, we see much benefit in continuing to pursue a new building space. DOWNLOAD PROSPECTUS A LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR It is with great joy and excitement that I share with you that the population surrounding Maranatha—both in Pickerington and in Canal Winchester—is growing quickly. Therefore, we must not only focus on how well we are caring for one another at Maranatha but also on how we can minister to the new people who are joining our communities. One of the ways to work towards accomplishing this is to continue our pursuit of a new building in Pickerington. We know that this would not be the only way forward, but pursuing a larger facility and gathering space is what the Lord has continued to make clear to us. It’s been exhilarating for us as a church to follow the Lord as He advances this movement. Not only will this space provide more room for the church in Pickerington to gather as one body on Sundays, but this project will also allow us to more effectively train ministry leaders, raise up additional church planters, and creatively serve our community. We hope that the people of Maranatha, as well as individuals, churches, companies, and business owners, would be willing to invest in this project financially, in prayer, and in helping us spread the word to others who may desire to come alongside what God is doing in our community for His glory. I want to thank you for taking the time to learn about our vision for Maranatha’s future. Our prayer is that this building will stand as a testimony to the holiness of God and be a sanctuary that represents Christ to our community for generations to come. Jeff Beisel Lead Pastor, Maranatha Community Church jeff.beisel@maranathaohio.com (614) 462-0336 ABOUT US OUR PURPOSE Maranatha’s purpose is to foster and develop gospel clarity, biblical depth, and a noticeable Christian community in the local areas God has placed us. OUR MISSION We are pursuing this purpose by displaying God’s holiness and goodness in all areas of life. We teach God’s Word faithfully and passionately. We pray fervently for His will to be done in and through our church. We expectantly share the gospel in hope. We desire that those who are lost will be saved and that those who are saved will be strengthened in faith by Jesus. We purposely care for all people—displaying the love of Christ and endeavoring to equip the whole church body to join in the mission of the kingdom. OUR VISION The biblical word Maranatha means, “Come, Lord.” We chose this to be our name because it continually centers our attention on our returning King Jesus while we pursue the coming of his kingdom here on earth. TIMELINE ATTENDANCE GROWTH CHART Our church desires to be hospitable to the people who come through our doors every week. Currently, we have exceeded our building’s capacity three times over. The only growth options available to us are adding additional gatherings or pursuing a larger building space. Additional gatherings put a continued strain on Maranatha’s community and culture. For this reason, we are pursuing this building project as a means of meeting the developing needs of our entire church body. With a bigger space, we will be able to creatively serve our community through more outreach opportunities. This will assist our goal of supporting external ministries and community needs. Some examples of this include a beautiful facility to host weddings and funerals, gym and field space to be used for community events, and additional classrooms that could serve home-school co-ops. This space will allow us to more effectively train ministry leaders within Maranatha and assist other churches in equipping leaders. We will be able to develop a learning environment to raise up church planters and planting teams to be sent out with greater stability. Our Canal Winchester congregation will be able to leverage this asset for their future facility needs. Ultimately, we see this building as an opportunity to help us answer the call to equip the saints for the work of ministry. DESIGNED WITH A PURPOSE The reason Maranatha has chosen a more traditional building design is that we desire to create a monument for the Lord that will always display His holiness. We hope to create a space that is both functional and beautiful so that both vibrant worship and fruitful ministry can flourish. Our hope is that this structure would serve our current church body and that it would stand as a witness of truth for generations to come. We desire to create a building that will always be recognized as a church. If for some unforeseen reason this building became inhabited by an organization that is not a church, it will always look like a place where Jesus Christ was worshiped. If that were to happen, our hope would be that eventually another gospel-centered church would be moved to re-acquire this place and recommission it as a proper place for worship of our Creator God. WHAT IT WILL TAKE Our current Pickerington building is worth an estimated $1 million. The land for our future building site has nearly doubled in value since we closed in April 2023. The estimated total for phase one building is $4.9 million. Phase two is anticipated to be $4.5 million due to estimated reconstruction and inflation. THE GOAL We plan to fundraise $3 million of the $5 million needed for phase one through the giving of our members, visitors, and outside supporters. The graphic shows the type and number of gifts we need to accomplish this goal. Along with raising the funds mentioned, we are prepared to leverage our current building and take on a $2 million mortgage for the new building. These steps will allow us to complete phase one while also preventing us from going over our set 25% budget threshold. Under our current budget we make monthly payments of $19,000 toward our property-related expenses. This includes the $1,500 mortgage on our current building and a $6,500 a month payment for the land we will build on. The additional $11,000 a month we put toward the land loan as a way to aggressively pay it off in five years. PRAY Will you join us in fervently praying for Maranatha as we follow the mission and vision God has given us? Specific things to pray for: Wisdom and clarity in each step that we take towards our hopeful future. Our church to creatively raise our financial giving and support for this project. The Lord to bring forward businesses, organizations, and other churches to assist us in reaching this goal. Opportunities for our church to reach our primary fundraising goal of $3 million. GIVE Though we don't currently have a formal fundraising campaign, the people of Maranatha have already generously contributed $200,000 in financial support for this project. Our hope is that you would also consider financially partnering with us as we prayerfully follow where God is leading us. JOIN If you feel compelled to do more than pray or give financially, please reach out to us at contact@maranathaohio.com .

Get to know our staff and leadership team. Discover our core values, beliefs, and the meaning behind our name. OUR MISSION AND BELIEFS ABOUT US Maranatha’s purpose is to foster and develop gospel clarity, biblical depth, and a noticeable Christian community in the local areas God has placed us. We teach God’s Word faithfully and passionately. We pray fervently for His will to be done in and through our church. We expectantly share the gospel in hope. We desire that those who are lost will be saved and that those who are saved will be strengthened in faith by Jesus. We purposely care for all people—displaying the love of Christ and endeavoring to equip the whole church body to join in the mission of the kingdom. CORE VALUES The core values that guide Maranatha Community Church are founded in Acts 2:42-47. Here we see the early church relentlessly worshiping God and devoting themselves to teaching, prayer, community, and service. We seek to uphold these values as guideposts, learning from the new covenant church, which is established by Christ. [42] “And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. [43] And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. [44] And all who believed were together and had all things in common. [45] And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. [46] And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, [47] praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.” [ACTS 2:42-47] WORSHIP The human heart was created for worship. We are constantly worshiping what we love most, but God is the only one worthy of our unending affection. Worshiping God means first knowing him and then honoring him in everything we do. As a church, we proclaim God to be our good portion and our greatest treasure, that he would be glorified and we would be satisfied in him. TEACHING Biblical teaching is meant to build up and protect the church in order that everyone may be presented as mature in Christ. As a church, we submit ourselves to the teaching of the Word, believing that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). PRAYER God has called us to pray. Through our prayers we demonstrate our dependence on God, our trust in God, and our worship of God as the all-sustaining and satisfying creator of the universe. Through Jesus Christ, we are able to come to God in prayer with full assurance that he hears us and will work for the good of those who love him. COMMUNITY We are designed to carry out our faith within the community of the church. If you have been saved by the gospel of Jesus Christ, you have been saved into the people of God. Within community, believers are equipped for ministry and spurred on toward love and good deeds. We bear one another’s burdens and encourage one another toward maturity in Christ. It is through our love for one another that individuals will know that we are his disciples. SERVICE As believers we emulate the servant-heart of Christ, not because God needs anything from us but that our heart might be set on that which is eternal and that our hope might be set on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. We serve by practicing sacrificial love toward our neighbor, the stranger, the widow, the hungry, the sick, the imprisoned, etc. Through our serving, we testify to God’s sufficiency and abundant grace in our lives.
