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...

Maranatha Baptist University Names Dr. David Anderson as President The Board of Trustees has appointed Dr. David Anderson as the sixth president of Maranatha Baptist University. Dr. Anderson will be succeeding Dr. S. Martin Marriott, who relinquished the office after fourteen years on May 5...

An interesting wrinkle in the process of choosing Maranatha's next president is that he must have been a pastor at some point in his life. My friends at the University have shared with me in years past that this condition was "baked into" the organizational paperwork and structure by Myron...

Dr. Matt Davis, on the On Mission podcast, has referenced Dr. Weniger several times. Some of those references have been guarded, as if he did not wish to speak ill of the dead. My "circle" of Fundamentalism did not begin to interact with Maranatha until after Weniger resigned the presidency of...

A friend of mine who serves on the Board of Trustees shared with me that the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees has been functioning as the search committee since December. The annual spring board meetings are this week, so the hope is that significant strides will be made toward...

Maranatha Baptist University Appoints Dr. Marty Marriott Second Chancellor in School History Dr. S. Martin ("Marty") Marriott has announced that he is vacating the office of President of Maranatha Baptist University, effective upon the conclusion of Commencement Exercises on May 5, 2023. Dr...
