Magnolia Bible College
Preparing Preachers and Training Teachers
ACADEMICS
Hello,
I am John Gardner, Academic Dean, at Magnolia Bible College. It has been my privilege to serve MBC in this role since 2001. Before entering Christian higher education, I was in full time local ministry for 35 years with churches of Christ in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Texas.
I sincerely believe in local church ministry. I also believe that a solid preparation in academics and practical, supervised ministry experiences can grow great preachers for local ministry. The reason I left full time local ministry and came to MBC was to help those who want to become the best ministers and Christian workers possible.
Take time to check out what Magnolia has to offer in both academic and practical courses. Consider the highly qualified faculty who have years of real ministry experience. Look at the reasonable requirements for Magnolia's B.A. in Bible and the B.Th. for those who already have a bachelor's degree in some discipline. We believe that MBC will the place you want to equip yourself for greater service to Jesus Christ.
