Looking down through the pages of history, the study of God’s Word has been immeasurable factor in shaping the Christian community. The study of God’s Word maybe called the backbone of the Christian faith as it has been relevant for all ages, all times, and all dispensations.
Christians have always desired increased biblical knowledge, but never before has the challenge been so great. Informed, committed church members are needed to communicate the Gospel to today’s world, an increasing sophisticated and often unreceptive world. The atmosphere of the day is a quest for more knowledge and greater understanding. The question we are faced with is "How can the church make a significant impact on our highly secularized society?" If the contemporary problems as we respond with emphasis on the teaching ministry. Teaching is indispensable because Christianity is a historical religion. Our faith is based on the saving acts of God among His people. The only way to sift through the sixty-six sacred books containing these acts is by a continuous and competent process of instruction. Whatever else we do to bring about the spiritual renaissance, education must be a part of the answer. For these reasons, the Maple Springs Baptist Bible College and Seminary was brought to fruition.
The present program at Maple Springs Baptist Bible College and Seminary is a backward glance with profound gratitude and forward look with keen anticipation. With a balance emphasis between biblical and theological subjects, general education requirements, and major area of concentration, the student’s entire college education will be functional and practical. From the lay person who wants a one-year basic Christian education to the student who wants to prepare for a career in the local church or a Christian school, Maple Springs Baptist Bible College and Seminary has a curriculum to satisfy that need.
