A Place to Grow Academically and Spiritually

Looking for quality Bible education in Philadelphia, Chester, or southern New Jersey?  If so, you've come to the right place.  Manna Bible Institute has been part of the Philadelphia community since 1944.  That's eight decades of teaching the timeless truth of God's Word, and we're as committed today to providing students with the biblical training they're seeking as the men and women were who founded the school.

MBI has no previous educational requirements for admission to its Standard Bible Course or Christian Workers’ Certificate program.  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.  This section of the website provides interactive communication with Manna’s community partners.
