Family Life Center

Family Life Center

A dream that has lasted decades has finally happened.  As a child Pastor Wright grew up in Nitro, WV.  One day he noticed that there was a building being built near his house.  He asked the workers what they were building and they told him a gymnasium.  Immediately Pastor asked what you had to do to be able to play basketball in the building.  They told him all you have to do is come to Sunday school.  When the building was completed Pastor Wright began going to Sunday school so he could play basketball.  Because of that building and the saving grace of Jesus Christ Pastor has had the vision to build a Family Life Center for the community.  

The Family Life Center has a full-size basketball and volleyball court, a fitness center, classroom, and a full-size industrial kitchen.  This building is able to host dinners with over 700 people in one room. There is also an indoor walking/running track.  This is a great place to get your physical and spiritual body in shape.  This is not just another building that Maranatha Fellowship has built, it is another opportunity to reach the community.

Health Control in the Church Part 1

God tells us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (I Cor 6:19).   Because of this command we should strive to take care of them.  I recently read in an article that West Virginia is the third heaviest state in the nation with 28.6% of West Virginians being obese.  The same article also stated that WV is number one in the nation for adult onset diabetes (which is preventable) with 10.4% and number two in the nation for hypertension (high blood pressure) at 32.5%.  We need to strive to improve these numbers.  Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of Americans.  Cardiovascular disease kills two Americans for every one cancer related death.  These are all numbers that can be easily changed.  There are two keys to this change:  1) EXERCISE and 2) HEALTHY EATING.
