  • COMPASSION MINISTRY | Maranatha Community Church

    FIND OUT MORE COMPASSION MINISTRY Our Compassion Ministry was created out of a belief that Jesus has directly called his followers to love and care for individuals in need. The Compassion Ministry seeks to provide ongoing outreach opportunities for the people of Maranatha to participate in so that they can be the hands and feet of Jesus to these individuals. Through this ministry, we are given opportunities as the body to step out in faith into uncomfortable spaces and be obedient to Christ's commands. MONTHLY OUTREACHES Each month, we extend care and support to individuals in need throughout the Central Ohio area by serving meals and distributing essential items, including hygiene kits, food bags, and necessities such as socks. Donations are accepted year-round to support these efforts. FIND UPCOMING DATES SHOP WISH LIST DONATION LIST BALTIMORE COMMUNITY MEAL We’re excited to launch Compassion Ministry Community Meal Night at Maranatha Baltimore—a monthly opportunity for our church family to serve our neighbors and demonstrate the compassion of Christ in a practical way. On the first Saturday of each month, we’ll provide a free meal, creating space to welcome people, build relationships, meet practical needs, and share the hope of the gospel. We’re looking for members who are willing to help prepare and serve meals, welcome guests, clean up, and build meaningful relationships with those who come. This is an opportunity for all of us to live out the love we have received from Christ by serving others with generosity and humility. SIGN UP CONTACT SOUTHSIDE BLESSING BOX Maranatha Southside is passionate about serving and loving their local community in tangible ways. One simple way we do this is through our Blessing Box—a resource available to anyone in need. We invite you to join us in keeping it stocked. While there’s no specific list, we are always collecting non-perishable food items such as soups, spaghetti, pasta sauce, cup noodles, individual mac and cheese, canned vegetables, tuna, canned chicken, and similar items. Items can be dropped off at any church location in the Compassion Donation bins. T his is a small act that can make a meaningful difference. As we give, we reflect the generosity of Christ and care for our neighbors right here in Southside. QUESTIONS? FOUNDATION DINNERS On the third Saturday of every other month, we serve at a local soup kitchen in Lancaster from 3:30 to 5:00 PM. During this time, we provide a warm meal and fellowship to those in need. For this event we need four volunteers to assist with setup and meal service. If you are interested in serving, please reach out directly to our Compassion Ministry leaders by clicking the sign up button below. FIND UPCOMING DATES MORE INFO CARE PORTAL We partner with CarePortal, a ministry of the Global Orphan Project , to serve vulnerable families right here in our local community—including Pickerington and Canal Winchester. CarePortal is a platform that connects churches with real-time, local needs submitted by child welfare agencies and community organizations. These needs often come from families who are on the brink of crisis—such as a single mother in need of a bed to keep her child at home, or a grandparent needing assistance with utility bills while caring for grandchildren. When a request is submitted, it's shared with local churches who can choose to respond and meet the need. When someone from Maranatha responds to a physical need, we have the opportunity to deliver the item ourselves—creating a chance for personal connection and ministry. Ways You Can Get Involved: 1. Become a Responder Sign up to receive email notifications about current needs in our area. There are only a few requests each week, and there's no pressure to respond if you're unable. When you're able to help—whether by donating an item, giving financially, or referring someone who can—you simply click "I Can Help." If it’s a physical need, we’ll coordinate the details with you. 2. Become a Connector Help deliver donated items and build relationships with the families we serve. From time to time, we may need volunteers with a truck to help transport larger items. 3. Do Both! Many of our volunteers choose to serve as both Responders and Connectors, helping to meet needs and make meaningful connections in our community.

  • CHURCH PLANTING | Maranatha Community Church

    Learn how our church is committed to planting gospel-centered churches that glorify God, serve communities, and make disciples of Jesus. WHY WE PLANT CHURCH PLANTING The reason Maranatha exists is to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ--and that is why we plant churches. Our cities and towns need the gospel, and the presence of gospel-proclaiming churches. As God as blessed us in our first eight years of being a church, he has also provided opportunities for his congregation to grow by stepping into more areas to tell more people about the good news of Jesus. LEARN MORE ABOUT WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE OPERATE AS A CHURCH ABOUT US OUR MISSION + BELIEFS STAFF + ELDERS FOUNDATIONS CLASS BALTIMORE Dan has been faithfully involved at Maranatha since July 2024 and has been affirmed by the Elders to plant a third Maranatha congregation. This congregation has now launched in Baltimore, OH, the very place Dan and his wife, Keela, have been praying about for many years. The Lord has provided an opportunity to merge with another congregation in Baltimore, and they began gathering together on January 11th, 2026. In the coming years, they are excited to build a thriving church community and continue raising up leaders to serve in the city of Baltimore and the surrounding communities. GIVE EMAIL DAN SIGN UP FOR PLANT UPDATES CANAL WINCHESTER God moved in David's heart to pursue local church ministry in 2012. As he and his wife were both serving in various roles in the church, God made it clear in 2018 that He had church planting in store for them. God brought them to join Maranatha and they began to experience what life in a church plant was like. David was installed as a pastor in 2020. A year later, Maranatha's eldership began to look ahead to a church plant. It was clear God had been preparing them to go and serve the community David grew up in, went to school in, lived in and loved. Maranatha Canal Winchester has continued to see God's faithfulness as they teach the Bible deeply and practice meaningful Christian community.
