Dr. Allen Domelle was called to be the pastor of Maranatha Baptist Church on April 15, 2018. Dr. Domelle succeeded Pastor Charley O'Daniel who faithfully pastored the church for thirty-eight years before the LORD took him to Heaven.
​
Pastor Domelle was raised in a preacher’s home. At a young five years of age, he was saved. Later, at the age of thirteen, he surrendered his life to full-time Christian service. By the time he was fifteen years of age, a position opened up in his church that allowed him to start preaching every week. After graduating from high school, he went to Hyles-Anderson College where he graduated. He later received an honorary doctorate from the Bethel Baptist College in Jacksonville, Arkansas.
​
Pastor Domelle became an evangelist in 1990, and traveled full-time as an evangelist until taking the pastorate at Maranatha Baptist Church. God allowed him to preach in 49 of the 50 states and several foreign countries.
