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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
