Orientation

Welcome to the Maranatha Online Bible Institute! Congratulations on your decision to dive deeper into your faith and knowledge of theology and of God’s precious word, the Holy Bible.

HOW IT WORKS
All lesson are compressed so the information can be digested in small bites to allow the student to progress through the courses in an accellerated fashion. The idea here is not so the reader can rush through the instruction but so that he/she can work through it carefully and more efficiently retain what they learn with a minimal time investment.
Lessons are available as PDF downloads as are the test questions. All tests are ‘open book’ so you can use the lesson material as well as your own notes to find the answers. Tests questions are multiple choice or true/false. Once you have answered the questions you will need to email your answers to: answers@MaranathaBibleInstitute.com
Upon completion of your course with an overall grade of 70% or better you will be emailed a certificate signifying your achievement. Your certificate can be printed off in 8-1/2″X11″ format suitable for framing.

GETTING STARTED
Every student is required to go through the Foundations & Fundamentals course. The lessons in this course are designed to help you get a firm understanding of what true Christianity is, why the Bible is so important and how to study it inductively, and how the church began and an overview of the protestant denominations. Finally, the course rounds out with a look at the Spiritual Gifts, your talents, evangelism and personality typing.
