Parents with Purpose (PWP) exists to create community and support Maranatha Christian Academy. Through PWP, parents use their combined gifts, talents, and ideas to serve the school, elevate the student experience, build Christian community, and further the vision of Maranatha Christian Academy.
Volunteers play an integral role in the Maranatha community and the education of our students. We always need parents to volunteer, pray for our school community, and help students and teachers throughout the school year. We invite you to get involved and find your community through Parents with Purpose. Find volunteer opportunities here.
