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.

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or statement:
“I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“No statement about God is simply, literally true. God is far more than can be measured, described, defined in ordinary language, or pinned down to any particular happening.”
—David Jenkins (b. 1925)
