Maranatha Christian Reformed Church is part of a larger denomination made up of approximately 300,000 members and over 1000 congregations across the United States and Canada. Our denomination’s name is the Christian Reformed Church in North America. This denomination officially started in 1857 and Maranatha Church became an organized congregation in 1958.

Our name “ Maranatha Christian Reformed Church ” means:

Maranatha- Lord come quickly! We are a collection of people that eagerly anticipate the return of Christ.

Christian- identifies that we belong to Christ and we want to live for Him.

Reformed- our theology or our distinct beliefs. This is what makes us unique from the “Maranatha Christian Baptist Church,” for example. Both are Christian, but have distinctions from each other. Much of our reformed beliefs have roots to the 16th Century reformer John Calvin.

Church- we are a collection of people that God has called together. It is not the building that is the church, but the people that God has called into fellowship that make up his church.
