Maranatha Baptist Church

"If you're looking for a baptist church that has a sunday school teacher to show you the ins and outs of how to legally abort a live baby inside you, then you will be vibrating with pleasure when "uncle jimmy" reads from the bible of his own translation of how his god sanctions the baby murder industry in today's America and how to get it paid for by the federal government. I'm sure if his brother "little billy" was still among us he would crack a beer open as a vote of approval!!! Miss roz is now reaping her rewards for all the years of endorsing the baby murder industry and we can almost hear her shout and holler!!!!"

"For crying out loud, what are your beliefs?? Are you Southern Baptist, Missionary Baptist, Independent Baptist...??? Why is your website all about Carter? I don't think I saw anything about Jesus."

"God Speed to President Carter. I was not a fan of his politics and had I been of age, I’d have never voted for him, but he’s been an exemplary former President, the one by which all others are measured and all come up short. I wish him peace and happiness in the time he has left. Thanks, Jimmy, a life well lived. If there is a Heaven you will surely be there."

"We got up 4AM and left the house at 4:35 am. Got to Plains, GA around 6:30 am. The experience was Great President Carter is a down to Earth and spiritual person. His staff is understanding and caring towards the Carter family. We didn't know that we would get to take pictures with him and his wife Roselyn Carter. That was AMAZING. I took my wife (Portia) and my mother (Mathilda aka Mattie)."

"This was the most amazing family trip we have ever taken. We did not witness any power trips and we were one of the "latecomers" escorted to the front. Having strong people in charge is not optional when a sitting or former President attends a function. You will definitely see bomb sniffing dogs and plenty of Secret Service. They will look into the windows of your car. They will not allow you to take a bag or backpack inside. Phones and cameras will be inspected by Secret Service agents as well as your wallet. The leaders of the church will tell you what you can and can't do. It's not optional. You will do it. "Latecomers" are seated in the front for a reason. Everything done on the days President Carter is there is done for a reason. Not a whim. So, with that out of the way, we had an exceptional experience and my son will have this memory to hold onto for the rest of his life. Mrs. Jan, Mrs. Betty, Pastor Brandon and, of course, President Carter were all welcoming and treated us as if they had known us all their lives. It was an almost six hour drive for us and we only spent one night. And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! Wonderful service and message. President Carter is amazingly eloquent and shared very insightful stories about his time in office as well as how he views our current political situations. He related those stories to Bible passages that perfectly illustrated his compassion, understanding and acceptance of others. Pastor Brandon did an excellent job in the church service. His message illustrated a deeper understanding of the overall service and message. We downloaded and listened to "An Hour Before Daylight" by President Carter on the way down. I highly recommend doing the same so you have a deeper understanding of who and where you are visiting."
