      • By individual believers
        Maybe you want to simply expand your knowledge in practical ways. Or maybe you would like to build a better biblical foundation for your growing faith. Review the list of available courses and start with one that interests you. Each course can be completed at your own pace.
      • By churches
        MaranathaPlus is especially designed to be a practical aid to local churches. The Bible courses have short videos that can be used for adult education or Sunday school or Bible institute settings. These classes contain resources for teachers and helps for discussion. We know not every teacher in the local church has had the opportunity for doctrinal and practical training at the collegiate level. We can help!
      • By Christian schools
        The courses on MaranathaPlus can be a great tool for classroom use and teacher training.
      • By homeschool families
        Do you need a trusted Bible curriculum for your high school student? Consider using the Old and New Testament series for your teen, along with the introductory courses on Baptist History.
