Brad Magnus

Brad & Katie Magnus

An east-coast, New-Jersey native, Brad Magnus graduated from Pensacola Christian College in 2009. Brad and Katie were married in 2011 and served together in the youth ministry for three years before moving to Colorado. They served in Colorado for over 6 years before receiving the call from Maranatha in 2020.

Brad is the Lead Pastor at MBC and number one desire at Maranatha is to be faithful. Often he says, "My favorite book is Pilgrims Progress! It captures the life of Christian as he journey's from the brokeness of lostness to the freedom of every chain as he enter's into the Kingdom of the Christ. But my favorite character is, Faithful - the book is not about him, but without Faithful - the book would not be the same. My story really is not about me, it is about Christ - He has called me to just be faithful." 

​Brad and Katie are also love being foster parents. With 400,000 children in the Foster system, Brad and Katie felt a great need to make a difference in some children's lives. In a broken world, the only healing that truly lasts is the love of Christ. Brad and Katie seek to provide not only a healthy home and loving hearts, but also the spiritual nurturing for every child the Lord leads into their home whether permanent or for a matter of days. "Forbid them not to come unto me." Brad and Katie have 5 boys they have adopted. They love their family and are passionate about family ministries.

Brad's enjoys fishing, hunting, wood-working, reading, spending time with family and friends, and music.

Katie enjoys music, parenting, reading, coffee and spending time with friends.

Donnie Garrison

Donnie and Heather Garrison are our most recent staff here at MBC. Their addition came in a God-ordained way! Through tragic and life changing events, the Garrison's lead their previous church to join in with Maranatha. With the motto, "Better Together", the churches merged together under Maranatha Baptist Church.

Donnie as the Associate Pastor brings seasoned pastoring and the heart of community outreach. Both Heather and Donnie are committed to their Savior, each other, family, and ministry. Donnie often says, "I just want to do what God wants me to do." Their willing heart, community mindedness, and service living; was redily accepted and loved by the church.

Donnie and Heather have 6 children and love their kids deeply!
