Many new students have a high school diploma, some have college credits, but many new students have neither, but all entering students are welcome. The Advanced School of Biblical Learning requires a Bible school diploma.
Manna is more than students and professors working together in classroom settings. The Manna community includes alumni, churches, prayer partners, and donors who partner with students and faculty in support of Manna’s educational ministry.
