Weekdays are proving to be just as busy as Sabbath mornings for Maranatha Adventist Church in Seattle — and that’s just the way the service-minded congregation likes it.

“We have a rich legacy of community service in our church,” says Derek Lane, Maranatha Church pastor. “Service seems to be our strength.”

Maranatha Church is one of three Washington Conference churches involved in a pilot program for church revitalization. A renewed calling to service in the midst of a pandemic is proving to be effective for this congregation.
