Ministries at Maranatha Baptist Church

It is my privilege to serve in several ministries at Maranatha Baptist Church in Columbus, Ohio. This church, which is located at 4663 Trabue Road on the west side of the city, maintains a full schedule of ministries and activities which are firmly rooted in the Scriptures and which reach out to people who need to know what God's Word has to say to them.

Currently I serve with my wife as a small group leader. Although I am one of the Adult Bible School teachers at Maranatha, I do not teach every quarter.
