About Us

The Soul Garage is the student ministry of Maranatha Evangelical Free Church, located in Rice Lake, WI. We have a large group meeting each week on Wednesday nights from 6pm-8:30pm in our youth building, also called The Soul Garage.  Doors open at 5:45pm for hanging out, playing games and catching up with friends.

Vision

To know God so we can love and obey him

Mission

The mission of the Soul Garage is glorify God by creating an environment that encourages each youth to know the holy God who demonstrated his love for us through Jesus’s life, death and resurrection, so that they will love Him deeply and obey Him by the power of the Holy Spirit. We do this in community through our commitment to unashamedly teaching God’s Word, building relationships with youth and creating memorable and meaningful experiences that invite God to work in their lives.
