Maranatha Properties for Sale

Maranatha Bible & Missionary Conference has existed for over seventy years providing  God-honoring, Christ-centered recreational opportunities along with Bible teaching and Missions emphasis.  We minister to vacationing families in the summer and retreat guests throughout the rest of the year.  We also have approximately 100 families who have summer homes on our 88 acres of grounds on Lake Michigan.  These families own their homes (condo, cottage or mobile home) and lease the land they reside on from Maranatha.
