Maranatha Baptist Church

About this church

Maranatha Baptist Church in Rainsville, Alabama, meets on Sunday mornings, with community groups at 9:45 a.m. and corporate worship at 11 a.m. Sermons are posted on the church website, and a live stream is available for those who cannot attend in person. The church describes itself as a self-governing local congregation, independent of any denominational control. Its stated mission is to carry out the great commission through discipleship and love of God and others. It practices baptism by immersion and observes the Lord's Supper.

Children are well covered on Sundays. The nursery takes infants through five-year-olds, with check-in starting at 9:30, and a community group for three-year-olds and up sits across from the nursery. Children's Church is for kids from age five through fifth grade. They begin worship with their families, then go upstairs for crafts, games, music and a Bible lesson. Sunday community groups are also listed for adults, youth in sixth grade and up, and younger children. During the week, a women's Experiencing God study meets Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m., and a Precept Upon Precept study is also listed. Monthly gatherings include a men's breakfast on the second Saturday at 8:30 a.m. and a women's gathering on the first Monday at 5 p.m. Visitors should use the parking lot entrance on the left, where greeters direct families to the children's wing. Confirm times on the website or by phone before visiting.
