What to Expect

Manna is 100% committed to intentional disciple-making. So how does "Intentional Disciple-Making" make Manna different from every other church? Well, for one, our pastors dynamically teach verse-by-verse through entire books of the Bible. We may spend six moths to a year covering just one book of the Bible. This makes Manna a rare church among many in the Holland area. Most churches offer topical sermons that may last 20 to 30 minutes. At Manna, our teaching goes for 45 minutes but it only seems like 30 minutes...because it really is that good!

Like many churches today, Manna offers contemporary worship with a band, but we take great care to ensure that our focus is always on the Lord, and not upon the great musicians and vocalists on stage. We believe church should be real, never a show. So you will not find Manna to be entertaining. But you will find Manna to be spiritually enriching with worship that includes interactive prayer, testimonies, and real Christ-centered relationships (i.e., There is no mask-wearing permitted at Manna).

Manna is also a multi-racial and a multi-socio-economic relational community. Manna is a true urban church where the blessed and the homeless worship side-by-side and support one another in Christ. While intentional discipleship is one of our highest values, Manna is also committed to be a community of grace; called to be an expression of Christ love into a broken world. The Manna-mix of people is unlike most churches in the lake shore area.

Nursery is provided. After morning worship during the message.

Summary of Our Core Beliefs

Manna Fellowship Church

220 Central Avenue Holland, MI 49423

1. The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, the only infallible rule of faith and practice.

2. There is one God, eternal and self-existing in three persons (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) who are to be equally loved, honored, and adored.

3. All mankind participated in Adam’s fall from his original sinless state and is thus lost in sin and totally helpless.

4. The Sovereign God, for no other reason than His own unfathomable love and mercy, has chosen lost sinners from every nation to be redeemed by the quickening power of the Holy Spirit and through the atoning death and resurrection of His son, Jesus Christ.

5. Those sinners whom the Spirit quickens, come to believe in Christ as Savior by the Word of God, are born again, become sons/daughters of God, and will persevere to the end.

6. Justification is by faith and through it the undeserving sinner is clothed with the righteousness of Christ.

7. The goal of God’s salvation in the life of the Christian is holiness, good works, and service for the glory of God. Ultimately, God desires that we be perfectly conformed to the image of His Son.

8. At death the Christian’s soul passes immediately into the presence of God and the unbeliever’s soul is eternally separated from God unto condemnation.

9. Baptism is a sign of God’s covenant and is properly administered to children of believers in their infancy as well as to those who come as adults to trust in Christ.

10. Jesus Christ will return to earth, visibly and bodily, at a time when He is not expected, to consummate history and the eternal plan of God.

11. The Gospel of God’s salvation in Jesus Christ must be preached/taught to all the world as a witness before Jesus Christ returns.
