I reached out to one of the trustees at Maranatha, and he told me that the physical campus (residential and commuting students combined) had somewhere between 500 and 550 students last semester, although it was in the higher end of that range. The 350-400 number is (most likely) the...

Students transferring from Maranatha to Hyles-Anderson? That sounds unbelievable today. Times sure have changed.

West Coast Baptist College is booming. The last time that I heard enrollment figures was about two years ago, and they were nearing one-thousand students. Golden State Baptist College is holding its own. Even approximate numbers are difficult to obtain, but they seem to be around the two-hundred...

To answer your question, Midwestern Baptist College now operates out of a smaller church and has perhaps two dozen students. Ambassador Baptist College is running approximately 140 students this year but is expanding its facilities and anticipating a bright future. North Florida Baptist College...

Four hundred in the Academy?!?! We have a young man in my home church that is a freshman in the University this year, and the Academy is (according to the administration) having a "strong year" of approximately seventy to eighty students in the ninth through twelfth grades. How in the world did...

Look at that blast from the past! Gerry Carlson before he went out to Pillsbury.

"TRO"? If that refers to "Textus Receptus Only," when did Maranatha "work out" of it? My pastor went up to the campus to meet some administrators this fall, and the position that the University takes is a firm stand on the Masoretic Text for the Old Testament and Textus Receptus for the New...

According to Dr. Larry Oats, Maranatha began its original Master of Divinity program in the early 1970s (approximately 1972). Throughout the Cedarholm and early Weniger years, it appears from institutional records and diplomas of its alumni that the graduate division of Maranatha was labeled the...

Which ministries were discussed in the documentary? Multiple comments on this thread have referred to "six IFB ministries," but only three have been named: First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana; Grace Baptist Church of Gaylord, Michigan; and Faith Baptist Church of Wildomar, California. Can...

Did you complete your undergraduate degree at MBBC? If so, what years were you there?

Compass College and Seminary This new institution, scheduled to open its doors for the 2024-25 academic year, is shaping up to be a powerful newcomer to the existing roster of IFB Bible colleges. Having read all the material that I could acquire since its unveiling on October 5th, Compass...

Ambassador seems to be doing quite well these days, unlike many of its brethren. What's Happening at Horne's? Although this article was published on the college website in April, the project is now nearing completion. Purchased by Ambassador Baptist College in 2005, the old Horne's Supermarket...

While I agree that any organization that becomes increasingly top-heavy becomes increasingly susceptible to disaster and ruin, Maranatha's current emphasis on "servant leadership," an emphasis which pervades the institutional culture, will most likely neuter any chance of the executives...

What years did James Munro serve at Maranatha? My Maranatha friends and acquaintances always said that Mark Stevens ran the finances. My copy of the 2017 Maranatha Advantage that celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the institution claims that Mister Stevens had been there since the 1980s. The...

No, Sir. The University announced an "interim administrative team" to lead the school until the Board of Trustees names a president. The team is composed of Gary Weier, Alan Benson, and Bruce McAllister--a fundamentalist triumvirate, you might say.

Dr. Burggraff and I are acquaintances. You are right. He is a genuine academic (second to none, I would say) and a humble, faithful believer. Hindsight is 20/20, but we can see now that he would have been a better president than Jaspers was.

I was referring to the conflict between the Pettit administration and the Board of Trustees that occurred in Greenville, South Carolina, this spring. Both parties tussled, and the board won. It is my opinion that in a Doug Jackson vs. Matthew Davis (CEO of Maranatha) conflict, the former would...

However strong his control of the board may be, he does not run the school. Matt Davis would be quite the force to be reckoned with if the Board of Trustees ever attempted to wrest control of the University away from the administration. (What I mean to say is that, in my humble opinion, a...

I know very little about Dr. Anderson; however, I have to be impressed that he received a unanimous vote from the Board of Trustees. The spring board meetings occurred on May 11th and 12th, and the article states that he was named president on the eleventh. Perhaps I am inferring incorrectly...
