History
Founded on September 14, 1968, by Dr. B. Myron Cedarholm, the college was named for the Aramaic phrase Maranatha, which means "Lo He cometh", which appears in I Corinthians 16:22 in the New Testament. The college records more than 4,000 graduates since its founding. Maranatha was chartered by the State of Wisconsin in 1968. Undergraduate enrollment for Fall 2011 was expected to exceed 800.
The current president was announced in September 2009 when Dr. Marty Marriott accepted the position. Marriott began his duties during the Spring semester of 2010 and was installed on March 18, 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
