We have a very high regard for the work of missions, particularly foreign missions where the gospel is reaching new lands for Christ. Consequently, we actively give to provide for the work of missionaries around the world, through the Great Commission Fund of the C&MA, and to the Home Missions Fund to support local church planting through the Southeastern District. There are other missionaries that we support individually as well. In addition, we are in the process of planning some short-term missions projects (home and abroad). Please stay tuned for more specific information regarding these ventures.
Missions Conference
Every year we host a Missions Conference to create more awareness of missionary work around the world and to challenge each person in the church to greater participation in the Great Commission. The 2010 Missions Conference will take the week of Sunday, March 14 through Sunday, March 21. This year’s theme is “Open Doors” which emphasizes the wonderful opportunities that are currently being experienced for reaching people in many previously unreached places. 
This year at Maranatha Fellowship Church, “March is for Missions!” What we mean is that we’ve expanded our conference to include both a pre-conference missionary speaker and a post-conference missionary speaker. Therefore, every Sunday night in March will feature a different missionary presentation. The expanded Missions Conference schedule including the pre-conference and post-conference speakers are given below. Please join us for a memorable Missions Conference encounter.
