Mission Statement
Maranatha's mission is preparing leaders to serve locally and internationally "To the Praise of His Glory.” The school's mission and doctrinal statements are the foundations of its "Guiding Core Values": fidelity, learning, integrity, charity, leadership, unity, balance, family, and excellence.
Maranatha’s academic philosophy combines a Bible college environment with a liberal arts focus. The school incorporates an academic program with a traditional independent fundamental Baptist philosophy. Students take 24 hours of Bible credits and 31 hours of liberal arts credits in addition to program requirements for majors and minors. Students can graduate with a unique blend of Bible credits, liberal arts courses, and an academic major with the possibility of an additional minor.
Maranatha requires its students to follow a biblical code of personal conduct. Those who violate Maranatha's student life policies are subject to disciplinary action.

“The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of society, and out of unbeliefs a creed shall be formed. For, skepticisms are not gratuitous or lawless, but are limitations of the affirmative statement, and the new philosophy must take them in, and make affirmations outside of them, just as much as must include the oldest beliefs.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
