Doyal Young
“Hello. We are Doyal and Vonda Young. We have been members at Maranatha Baptist Fellowship for 19 years. We have been leading a Sunday morning Bible study for about the same amount of time. We have found Maranatha to be an excellent place to experience life with a small group of believers in Jesus Christ and to grow in faith. Perhaps you are one who has for a time grown distant in your walk with Christ. Maybe you are one who is seeking a relationship with God but sometime have more questions than answers. Maybe you just need someone to talk to. We would love to have you join us and just do life together in fellowship with Jesus Christ. We would be happy to just sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with you at our Agape Cafe coffee shop. (Coffee is on us). Hope to see you soon. In Christ’s Love, Doyal and Vonda Young”
Jon Felps
Jon and Shammie Felps came to Maranatha Baptist Fellowship with the intent of getting married, not looking for a home church. However the Holy Spirit had other plans and they have been with MBF since 2008. Serving and helping with many outreaches and ministries at MBF, Jon and Shammie help provide a fun and enjoyable visit to Maranatha Baptist Fellowship.
Barry Hardie
Barry and Judith have served at MBF since 2008 after retiring and moving to Topeka KS from California where they served in ministry. They have been married since 1968 and have 3 children and 10 grandchildren. Barry is currently serving as the AWANA Club Director, a ministry to our children focusing on hiding God’s Word in their heart. Their goal in life is to serve God in whatever capacity God leads. Both Barry and Judith’s spiritual gift is service which they use within Maranatha’s Body.
