The Pentecostal Maranatha Church (Volle Evangelie Gemeente Maranatha) started to hold their services in a side-room of the Bethelkerk. The Maranatha community had come into existence in 1960 and used to meet in a room in a building in the city centre (Frederiksplein). In 1975, Stanley Hofwijks became the leader of the community and, under his work as a pastor, Maranatha started to grow quickly.
