A Teaching Community

New Release

Digging Out the Embedded Church. 

Digging Out the Embedded ChurchDid you know that the prayer of Jesus for the unity of believers is closer to being answered today than at anytime since Pentecost!

The evidence is presented in this carefully researched book. It also explains what Christian Unity looks like, how to find it, and how to celebrate our unity in Christ. This is especially important for the members of the Maranatha Community because God has called us to pray for Unity and we need to understand clearly what this involves, as closely as we can, from his point of view.

This 256-page book has been authored by John Isherwood and designed by the Maranatha Community.

The author states his purpose in the following words:
In this Centenary year of the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh (1910), this book is dedicated to all those pioneers of Christian Unity throughout the history of the Church who, beyond narrow interests and prejudices, glimpsed the vision of the body of Christ worshipping, witnessing and serving together in the Kingdom of God as Christ intended”.

It is being offered freely on line with the compliments of Maranatha and Trinity Graduate School of Apologetics And Theology. 

The book can be download from the Maranatha website here or accessed via www.freecourses.org

Our Christian Faith

Earlier this year members of the Maranatha Community, from different church backgrounds and with much Theological training and knowledge between them, produced the very significant document Christians Standing Together which outlines the non-negotiable truths of the Gospel proclaimed by Christians of all traditions, referring to scripture, and outlines twelve prime truths based on the Constantinople-Nicene Creed.

The doctrines described in Christians Standing Together have now been further expanded in Our Christian Faith which is free to download here.

Weekends, Retreats and Conferences 2009

The new programme of weekends, retreats and conferences for 2009 is now available.

The Lord has called us to be a Community from many different places and backgrounds.  We believe that he is leading us to encounter him more frequently, more deeply, and in more ways.

Maranatha weekends, retreats and conferences are a wonderful opportunity to meet with Jesus and with other members of the Community and there are many amazing testimonies of how lives have been freed, transformed and deepened through this expression of our Community life.

Join us in 2009, a year for Community.
