Maranatha Christian Church

About this church

Maranatha Christian Church in Minneapolis gathers for worship every Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Campus House, 315 10th Ave SE. The church has served University of Minnesota campuses for about 45 years, and its main gathering is geared toward students. The service combines corporate worship, prayer, testimonies, and expository preaching. Meetings usually last about two hours, and many people stay afterward for fellowship. The name Maranatha comes from 1 Corinthians 16:22, an early Christian greeting that pointed to the return of Jesus Christ.

Beyond the Saturday service, the church sponsors International Student Outreach, based at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus. It offers airport pick-ups, temporary host families, help finding housing, campus and city tours, conversational English partners, and international events where new students can meet one another. A Discovering Christianity group and group Bible studies are part of that work. A related student group also meets in Mankato at Minnesota State University, with its own Sunday and Wednesday schedule listed on the site. Recent sermon audio and an online giving option are available on the website, and a Facebook group is used to share event invitations and notices. Visitors can call (612) 378-2299 and should confirm meeting times on the website before attending.
