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.

Figuring the natures of the times deceased,

As yet not come to life.”
