Our Mission
Maranatha Baptist Seminary enlarges the educational mission of Maranatha as it seeks to prepare men and women for all phases of ministry.
The mission of Maranatha Baptist Seminary is to provide seminary education in biblical, theological, and ministry-related areas through several programs which are thoroughly committed to a dispensational, fundamental, and Baptist position and which provide education and development, both academic and practical, for men (and, within the confines of biblical restrictions of local church leadership, women) who are called by God into leadership ministries in Baptist churches as pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and servants in other church-centered ministries.
The Seminary desires to prepare students who are
theologically articulate
spiritually dynamic
positionally informed
professionally competent
and who are faithful to the Holy Spirit’s work through God’s Word in the ministry of preaching and teaching God’s Word throughout the world.
Our Statement of Faith
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration of the Old and New Testaments; God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; the new birth in Christ alone; baptism by immersion for believers only; the eternal security of the believer; the Lord’s Supper as a memorial; six creation days of 24 hours each; the bodily resurrection of Christ and His bodily ascension into heaven where He now intercedes for believers; the pretribulation rapture of all believers; the premillennial return and millennial reign of the Lord Jesus Christ; the judgment; the reality of heaven and hell; the local church as God’s institution to carry out the Great Commission; and the obligation of every believer to live a holy life and witness to the lost of the saving power of Christ.
