THE LOCAL CHURCH LAYMEN’S BIBLE INSTITUTE MINISTRY
Faith Bible Institute (F.B.I.) is a through the Bible course for every Christian offered here at Maranatha Baptist Church. Students may study chronologically through the entire Bible and systematically through every major doctrine. Yet, basic classes meet only one evening each week, currently Monday nights. F.B.I. combines solid Bible teaching with an interactive video format utilizing student workbooks, transparencies, charts, maps and visuals to produce a life changing learning experience. The three-year course is divided into six semesters of 17-18 weeks each (plus optional electives). Live classes are filmed at F.B.I.’s central location (Rowland Road Baptist Church, Monroe, LA) and are then viewed by DVD here at Maranatha Baptist Church and other Satellite Schools throughout the U.S. and Internationally.
COURSE LEVEL Courses are on a college freshman and sophomore level. A high school diploma is not required to enroll. Anyone 12th grade and older may enroll (exceptional 10th and 11th grade students may enroll with parental approval - no younger students are ever accepted). Those with advanced degrees may also enroll.
