Maranatha Baptist University

Marantha is a non-profit private institution aligned with its independent Baptist consituency. As such, MBU is governed by an indpendent board of trustees and is not part of any denominational hierarchy or structure. Maranatha maintains a strong set of spiritual and behavioral distinctives generally reflected in constituent churches. Faculty members, though diverse in academic backgrounds, share a common core of biblical values and consider themselves conservative, independent Baptists.

Maranatha offers 39 undergraduate bachelor’s degree programs in seven academic units as well as six graduate degree programs in the seminary including the Master of Divinity and the Doctor of Ministry (added in 2015).

Three graduate programs are offered outside the seminary: the Master of Education (2014, School of Education), the Master of Organizational Leadership (2015, School of Business), and the Master of Nonprofit Administration (2019, School of Business). Maranatha Baptist Bible Institute was established in 2019 to provide focused Bible training and practical ministry experience for students not immediately interested in pursuing a college degree.
