Overview

The Oakwood University (AL) Project is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.

Founded in 1896, Oakwood University sits on over 1,000 acres, and offers a faith-based higher learning education. The school’s motto, shared by faculty and students, is “Enter to Learn, Depart to Serve.” Oakwood believes and practices its slogan, “God First” in everything it does. Consistent with its mission statement, Oakwood University is in the business of transforming lives – now, and for eternity.

Maranatha Volunteers will assist with men’s dormitory renovations including flooring, paint, and a lobby remodel. Please consider joining us!
