Our story
A gathering place for 70 years
Maranatha has served North Alabama and beyond as a safe gathering place for retreats, summer camps and group events: a place where differences are set aside and our humanity, spirituality and commonality are re-ignited.
Nestled on the banks of the Tennessee River, the beauty of creation gives our campers a chance to unplug and find what Maranatha means to them.
