School Description

Provided by Maranatha Baptist Bible College Inc

Maranatha’s academic philosophy combines a Bible college environment with a liberal arts focus. Students take 30 hours of Bible and 40 hours of liberal arts in addition to program requirements. Maranatha is regionally accredited.

Maranatha's mission is to train all students to serve the Lord, but all are not called to full-time Christian service.

The college is a non-profit institution, not part of any denominational hierarchy or structure. Maranatha maintains a strong set of spiritual and behavioral distinctives. Faculty members, though from diverse academic backgrounds, share a common core of biblical values and beliefs.
