We had the blessing of regularly hearing from Dr. MacArthur in chapel over his 40 years at TMU. You can find his most recent chapel sermons on our YouTube channel.
The most recent edition of TMU Magazine honored Dr. MacArthur’s 40 years of leadership at the institution with photos, stories, reflections, and a timeline.
On May 12, 1985, Dr. John MacArthur officially became LABC’s eighth president, safeguarding its Christ-centered mission and forever changing its trajectory.
MacArthur’s 25th anniversary at TMU was commemorated at a special reception, with guests including Joni Eareckson Tada.
MacArthur loved spending time on campus with TMU’s students, and he was known to be highly approachable.
MacArthur (pictured here at the NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho) had a passion for athletics and believed in their value for Christian growth.
The MacArthurs are pictured here with Dr. Joseph Stowell (longtime president of Moody Bible Institute) and his wife Martie at a TMC graduation ceremony.
Dr. MacArthur was a regular fixture in TMU’s chapel throughout the years, modeling sound Bible exposition.
In a letter he wrote to supporters in 1989, MacArthur said: “If I sound like a salesman, I guess I am. I have never been more enthused about a ministry than I am about the college and seminary.”
MacArthur credited his wife, Patricia, with coming up with the name “The Master’s College.”
