Maranatha Community Church | Kempton Park, South Africa
Construction was completed in early June 2026.

DBM Architects is proud to have delivered the full architectural scope of services for Maranatha Community Church

The brief called for a single precinct able to serve a congregation of over 5,500, while also housing a children's ministry, a training centre, a multipurpose hall for youth and public events, and full education facilities - from an 18-month preschool through to the relocated Maranatha Christian School (Grade R to matric). A glazed circulation tower anchors the site, linking the auditorium, education wings and community amenities - including an on-site coffee shop, restaurant and basement parking - into one legible, welcoming campus.

At DBM Architects, we remain committed to creating purposeful, people-centred environments defined by design excellence, functionality and lasting value.
