Statement of Faith
We believe in God, the Almighty Father, maker of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Potius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. He descended into hell, the third day, he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty. From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. We believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Our Story
Church of God Sentina Maranatha (SMC) was founded on July 1, 1990 by Pastor Jonas Jean-Louis. For the last 31 years, this church has been founded on core values around the Trinity, miraculous works through the Holy Spirit, and building up strong families supported by community.
SMC is steeped in Haitian culture being founded by Pastor Jonas who immigrated from Haiti with his wife Anita during an oppressive regime of dictatorships and political unrest. As a result SMC has always upheld the concept of supporting one another through difficult times while leveraging the promise of God’s word for freedom, healing, and salvation.
