“Go on an Adventure with God!” These were the words I spoke with conviction and fervor during my graduation speech from Arlington Baptist. As I reflect over my life before, during, and after attending college, I realize that I had been going on adventures with God before even giving the speech.  

You see, high school was hard. Even harder, was knowing that the Lord had called me to follow Him on to the mission field, yet I continually doubted myself. My conversations with God would go something like this:

Me: “I’m not good enough.”

God: “No you are not ...

Classes have started and the 2017-2018 year is on its way to be a great one! ABU Day was on August 21^st and we had a tremendous turnout for the celebration of our official name change to Arlington Baptist University. KLTY was on our campus broadcasting live, many dignitaries from the City of Arlington were here to congratulate us, and all faculty, staff, and students turned out for the celebration. The new front sign was revealed, the student activity room in the gym was opened, and we also broke ground for the remodeling of the May Center, our new ...

About ten years ago, I began a journey that would take me from where I thought I was going to where God would send me. I have to admit that not all of the journey seemed to make sense, nor were some of the events along the way all that enjoyable. When I look back and reflect, it would appear that everything (whether it seemed good or bad) was God’s way of preparing me for what is to come. During the process, I made some great friends that God used to influence my life. And, I lost a ...

My name is Kody Kirk, and I graduated ABC in 2015. I came into the college not knowing hardly anything about the Bible and getting saved just 5 months prior. I was overwhelmed and scared out of my mind coming into a place where kids grew up in church and the only thing I knew about church was Wednesday Youth service there was free food.  So I jumped on that bandwagon.

After 4 years (maybe 5) From late night bible studies, crying sessions, and the worst wifi in the world, I graduated. I am eternally grateful for ABC and how ...

On Monday, April 17 in our student awards chapel, Dr. Moody presented on behalf of the college, the 2nd annual Worldchanger Award to Becky Hyde. 

Becky Coggin Hyde has faithfully served as the CEO of Metroplex Women’s Clinic (formerly Arlington Mansfield Pregnancy Centers) for 27 years. She grew up in Fort Worth as a Baptist preacher’s kid and is a graduate of Baylor University.

Under Becky’s leadership, God has expanded MWC from one small center to 5 clinics with 19 nurses and 2 resale stores (Arlington ReSale).

MWC has served 80,000 women with free pregnancy tests ...

My name is Chad Purdy and I am married to my lovely wife, Julie.  We have two teenagers —Brooklyn (16) and Brayden (13).   I was born and raised in West Portsmouth, Ohio where I joined the U.S. Air Force in 1992. After a couple duty stations, God orchestrated an assignment to Shepherd Air Force Base, where I was introduced to Arlington Baptist College in 2007.  I finally started ABC’s online program in the fall of 2012 and I graduated in 2015 with a Bachelor in Bible.

I will be forever grateful for the online program at ABC.  After ...

The John V. & Jeri McMillan Memorial Arlington Police Department Annual Awards Ceremony was held on Wednesday, February 22 at the Arlington Convention Center. Arlington Baptist College received the Business Partnership Award. 

"Arlington Baptist College was chosen as the ideal choice to partner with us in the Rescue Task Force. This multi-part training was developed, designed and implemented by the Arlington Police and Fire Departments. Many hours of planning, meeting and designing were required during both the planning and execution phases of the project. Phase Two required a facility large enough to rehearse for an active shooter scenario with multiple casualties ...

This Friday, January 27, a group of students and faculty will be leaving for Chicago, Illinois to work for a week at the Roseland Community Good News Daycare in south Chicago. It will be a busy week:  working the daycare with the children, serving breakfast with a homeless ministry, delivering gift bags to new moms in the hospital, helping Ms. Pearl with projects at her daycare, and being able to share Christ to so many people.

Pray for the team's safety as we travel, their physical health, and for their heart's to open to God's leading in ...

When I call to mind the last ten years of my life, I cannot help but be amazed at the sovereign hand of God’s guiding direction. As a fearful freshman in high school, I had no idea of the drastic change in course that was soon to unfold my life. Over the next four years of high school, God was subtly molding me for the call of a lifetime. Not only that, but he was also equipping my future wife for that same pursuit. Little did I know, I met my future wife my freshman year of high school ...
