Brady Blevins - Online & Distance Education Professor
I joined the faculty of Arlington Baptist College in 2004 and have enjoyed the many relationships the Lord has allowed me to build. My position as an adjunct professor at ABC has allowed me to experience a number of the different outlets in higher education. I have taught Adolescent Psychology, and Marriage and Premarital Counseling on campus. In addition to the on campus teaching I have authored and taught the online courses: Pentateuch Genesis, Adolescent Psychology, Bible Study Methods, Life of Christ I & II, with a few more on the way! While at ABC I have had the distinct honor and privilege of working with the Distance Education program in the capacity of distance education professor for on campus students. The Lord has allowed many wonderful opportunities while serving here at ABC and I look forward to the possibilities He still has for me.
