Maranatha Baptist Church

What Maranatha Baptist Church does

Maranatha Baptist Church is an independent, non-profit Baptist congregation headquartered at 1800 N Ware Road, McAllen, Texas. It is led by Senior Pastor Daryl E. Miller, Th.D., who joined from a pastorate in Brawley, California and holds degrees from Liberty Bible Institute, Christian Bible College, and Slidell Baptist Seminary. The church serves a general community/member segment in the McAllen area, with a horizontal segmentation approach focused on worship, biblical education, and fellowship.

The church operates a portfolio of ministry programs rather than commercial products: Kings Kids Club (children's scripture program), Faith Bible Institute (a three-year, six-semester satellite Bible-study program using DVD format), Operation Go (a structured soul-winning mentoring program), and Spanish translation/audio services. It has no proprietary technology stack beyond a WordPress-style website, PayPal giving integration, Facebook, and YouTube live streaming for main and youth services.

The revenue model is donation-based, funded through member tithes and gifts processed via a PayPal "Give" button; financial information is not publicly disclosed. There is no pricing, no commercial offering, and no external investment. Service delivery is split between in-person worship (Sunday School, morning/evening services, Wednesday services, AWANA, youth group) at the single McAllen location and online live streaming to a global audience. The organization employs 11-50 staff and has no subsidiaries, parent entity, or publicly identified funding rounds.
