Maranatha Baptist Church in Marion, NC, was established in 1974 by a group of Christians seeking to form an Independent Baptist Church. Led by Pastor Jeff Alverson and later Pastor Dean Silver, the church is rooted in the belief that the Bible is the all-sufficient basis of faith, practice, and doctrine, and that the King James Version is the only translation used for preaching and teaching.
With a focus on magnifying the Lord and exalting His name, Maranatha Baptist Church holds to the doctrinal stand that there is one true and living God, consisting of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit. The church emphasizes the centrality of Jesus Christ in Scripture, His incarnation, passion, burial, resurrection, and ascension. The Holy Spirit is recognized as a divine person, working in the world to restrain evil, convict of sin, and regenerate believers.
