As the youth group of Tenth Church, Maranatha seeks to serve various partners each summer using the gifts and teamwork of teenagers. Our desire is to obey God’s call to share the gospel with others by encouraging the work of partners who serve year-round, bless communities and neighborhoods where our partners serve, walking alongside and equipping teens to test out their gifts and faith with hands on experiences. This often means cross-cultural experiences to build our understanding of God’s global call of his kingdom, hard work that tests our confidence in what God can do in or through us, learning to work alongside other believers as our own issues can get in the way of teamwork, and learning to connect the gospel everyday situations.
