Faith, fellowship, and fun in a truly unique setting
Welcome to the Maranatha Shabiba Conference — A vibrant, Christ-centered gathering for young adults across North America. Held annually at the end of August, the Maranatha Shabiba Conference brings together hundreds of Christian young adults at the stunning shores of Lake Michigan.
Hosted at the Maranatha Bible & Missionary Conference Center in Muskegon, Michigan, this 4-day, 3-night event is more than just a getaway—it's a spiritually enriching experience. Each year, attendees from the U.S., Canada, and beyond come together to worship, pray, dive into God's Word, and build meaningful friendships.
Whether you're reconnecting with old friends or meeting new ones, you'll leave encouraged, refreshed, and inspired in your walk with Christ. Join us for an unforgettable time of faith, fellowship, and fun in a truly unique setting.
The setting
Four days set apart on the shores of Lake Michigan
Between sessions, the lakeshore becomes its own sanctuary — golden sunsets over the water, quiet walks along the beach, and unhurried conversations that turn into lifelong friendships. It's the kind of place where you slow down, breathe, and meet with God.

What attendees say
Maranatha was a retreat I will never forget! A weekend in a beautiful location completely spent towards praising and worshiping God while hearing His word be spoken and "seeking His face". I don't know what heaven will be like, but this conference sure gave me a taste of it!
Truly a place where God's presence dwells!! Maranatha Shabiba was a life-changing conference
Amazing conference filled with hungry people seeking the Lord!
