Great Commission driven. The goal of MBC is to produce disciple makers, not just students with more knowledge about the Bible. Knowing is important, but it's a means to a greater end. That greater end is a person who makes disciples locally among the unchurched, with anyone, anywhere at any time. And a person who makes disciples globally among the unreached by supporting others or going yourself. Our goal is to produce Great Commission Christians who make disciples of all nations.
Robust. Don't let the low expense fool you. This is a low cost, high impact educational experience. Each class contains 20-22 lessons. Each lesson lasts at least two hours. Therefore, each class requires a minimum of 40 hours to complete. A one page written assignment accompanies each lesson. The readings are extensive, the study is comprehensive, and the activities are challenging. It is rigorous. Growth and maturity await each student. A certificate is available upon completion of each class, and a diploma awaits those who complete all of the classes.
