His Kids
(Birth - 6th Grade)

At Maranatha, kids are our specialty!  Our dynamic program staff will balance the thrill of a high-energy program and the lasting impact of the Gospel.

Through Bible teaching and relating their faith to life experiences, kids will be challenged to grow in their relationship with God and share their faith with those around them. They will be encouraged to take responsibility for their own decisions and stand up to be a disciple. His Kids children will be challenged to begin their journey with Christ in ways that will help them fall in love with Jesus.

The Quest! 
(Middle School & High School)

Each summer our teens are moving forward in The Quest! The Quest to follow after Jesus with 100% commitment and 100% of their life.  Our program staff will strive to help the teens raise their standards, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and have fun with old and new friends.

This program will focus on providing the tools to help the teens see the connection between the Christian faith and the “real life” concerns of every day.  As water flows from a fountain, teens will see that their faith flows into every part of life. The youth staff will strive to show the teens how to make a difference in the world by living their faith and being a fountain of life.  Teens will have the time of their lives this summer as they begin the journey and Quest for Christ.
