he Lord birthed Mission Arlington® through the faithfulness of God’s people at First Baptist Arlington, Tillie’s home church. Ladies from the church met each week in homes to pray. They prayed for four months prior to August 1st. Mission Arlington® was birthed in prayer. That spirit of prayer still forms the foundation of everything Mission Arlington®does today – 31 years later.

In 1990 Mission Metroplex® was formed. The existence of Mission Metroplex allowed the participation of many churches from around the city, throughout the nation, and across the denominational spectrum. By doing this, First Baptist courageously accelerated a kingdom vision and multiplied evangelism, discipleship and ministry to people even beyond its own reach.

Today, Mission Arlington®, under the umbrella of Mission Metroplex®, continues to be surrounded by such a wonderful family of supporters. Individuals, families, civic organizations, schools, and businesses all join together to help Mission Arlington® fulfill its mission of serving God and loving His people.
