Since 1996, Pastor Frank Camp, a native of Rutherford County, has pastored Maranatha Baptist Church, which has seen steady growth under his leadership. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at the age of nineteen. He and his wife, Renee, have three daughters who are actively serving the Lord along with their husbands. The Camps have eleven grandchildren. In the fall of 1978, Pastor Camp surrendered to God’s call to the ministry. He faithfully and clearly presents the Word of God for the edifying and maturing of believers, so that they in turn can reach others for Christ. Furthermore, he is known for his ability to preach on the needs of the Christian home.

Pastor Mike Hanke was raised in central Georgia by faithful Christian parents. He heard and understood the Gospel in Children’s Church as a six-year-old boy and accepted Christ as his personal Savior in September of 1988. When a senior in high school, God made it clear to him that he should spend his life in the pastoral ministry. He met his wife, Raechel at Ambassador Baptist college, of which they are both graduates, and they now have two children, Jackson & Olivia. Pastor Mike worked and involved himself in the Shelby community while finishing his Master’s degree, and he has a burning desire to see Maranatha Baptist Church fulfill the Great Commission in Shelby and around the world.
