We place a high value on the word of God. At Maranatha, we strive to preach faithfully what Jesus Christ has already revealed to us in His word. As preachers of God's word, we will always strive to uphold the call to be faithful heralds of the truth. We believe that as preachers, we are called to devote ourselves to the public reading of scripture--to its exhortation and teaching. We understand that this is a gift that we will continue to practice and immerse ourselves in for our growth and for the growth of others. (1 Peter 4:13-14)
