Assessment

Maranatha Mennonite Church was formally organized in 1978 as part of the Conservative Mennonite Conference (now Rosedale Network of Churches) in Hutchinson, Kansas. The 2011 GAMEO entry listed Paul H. Nisly as leading minister with 85 members; current pastor identity is not displayed on the church website at enrichment time, though the church remains in active ministry with Sunday morning worship at 9:30 AM and Wednesday evening gatherings (September-April) at 7:00 PM. The CMC/Rosedale Network affiliation guarantees male-only ordination and conservative Anabaptist confessional integrity. Green rating reflects denominational accountability even with current pastor name not public.
