We are at the halfway mark in our Fall 2019 semester and so much is going on at the campus of Arlington Baptist University!

In June, Jimmy McNeil, pastor of Pleasantview Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, accepted the position of Interim President. ABU is thankful for his leadership during this transition time. Continue to pray for ABU and for Pastor McNeil.

Austin McNeil, college pastor at Pleasantview Baptist Church, spoke to the students at the Revival Fire chapel services in September. Several students gave their life to Christ which is an awesome way to start the school year!!

I graduated from ABU in 2015 when it was still considered ABC with a degree in Bible and Education. I am ever so grateful for the time that I spent there and believe God sent me to that school for a reason. I was able to have the best of both worlds with an education focused on God and my teaching education. I loved the small classes and the family atmosphere we had. I loved being able to be in the dorms where my dorm parents had their doors opened to us whenever we needed them, and they treated us ...

What brought you to ABU? /How did you hear about ABU?

There are several people in my church who attended ABU back when it was ABC. They recommended it to my mom, and she told me about it. However, it was really God who brought me to ABU. I had said to someone that I would never be going back to college unless God told me very specifically where I was going and for what purpose. Within a week of saying that, God told me I needed to go to ABU to study children ...

God’s Love-Gift, Jesus

“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son in to the world, that we might live through him.  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”  (I John 4:9-10)

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love my grandchildren!  I now have four and a new one on the way… “How Sweet It Is!” 

My oldest is Paisley, who is three, going on twenty-five.  I just ...

What brought you to ABU? /How did you hear about ABU?

What brought me to ABU was Coach McDaniel. He saw my highlight tape from Eastfield College in Mesquite and invited me to a basketball tryout. I attended and just played ball the way I knew how. After the tryout, I met with him in his office. Coach McDaniel said, “I want you to come play for me and think you would be a great contribution to the team” and then that was it. He also said that I would be ...
