MISSION STATEMENT

 

Arlington Baptist College endeavors to prepare men and women for Christian life and ministries, both lay and professional, through studies in Bible, general education, church vocations, and practical service; integrating faith and learning in the context of a Christian world view.

 

 

 

 

PHILOSOPHY

 

Shaped by its fundamental Baptist heritage, Arlington Baptist College stands on the conviction that thorough preparation in the Word of God best equips an individual for a useful career and responsible citizenship. 

 

Education at Arlington Baptist College centers on a Christian world view; as the Bible teaches, the world and men are direct creations of God and that man is responsible to God.  Learning and faith are integrated in all college programs to provide a balanced educational experience.

 

This experience is based on an acquaintance with the life of Jesus Christ and an emphasis on practical service.  Programs are characterized by academic excellence and personal discipline.  A student's personal life and performance concern the faculty as much as training of the mind.  All phases of college life are devoted to building Christian character into the life of each student.
