Fresno
One of the major distinctions of MB Biblical Seminary’s Fresno Campus is the relationship of students to faculty. The Fresno Campus has around 200 students. Our typical faculty-student ratio is around 1 to 15 with anywhere from 8 to 30 students enrolled in a course. Our students interact on a first-name basis with leading scholars and teachers who are also committed Christian leaders and mentors.

MB Biblical Seminary is the Central Valley’s only accredited Seminary. Although the Fresno Campus is a denominational school, the seminary for the Mennonite Brethren Church in North America, there is a rich multi-denominational and international flavor. Over half the students come from churches other than the Mennonite Brethren; the seminary has partnerships with the local Episcopal diocese and the regional presbytery of the Presbyterian Church (USA).
Each year we have a number of international students coming from Canada or overseas: Germany, Brazil, Ethiopia, China, Russia, Japan, Lithuania, Paraguay, etc. Our community benefits greatly from the insights provided by this cultural and denominational diversity.
Greeting from Dr. Jim Holm, MB Biblical Seminary President
