The DAD University Statement of Faith and Fundamentals

We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old Testament and New Testament are the inerrant, inspired, and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.

We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

We believe man was created in the image of God and the sin of Adam (the first man) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and man. Every person is born in sin. 

We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.

We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead. 

We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone. The life that comes from this gift is a permanent possession of the one receiving it.

We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on mission to enlarge God’s kingdom. The local church is autonomous, free of any external authority of control.

We believe in believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the two ordinances of the church.

Joshua Arterbury - Board President

Joshua is married to Katie and they have 4 children: Aubrey, Daisy, Major, and Easton. I enjoy playing golf, coaching baseball, taking my kids to practice, writing restaurant reviews, live music and watching any and all documentaries. 

I was happy to join the DAD University Board of Directors because we need strong, present and engaged fathers to raise their children. We must encourage men to be better fathers for their children. And it is our duty, as Christian men, to raise our children according to God's plan and help other men to do the same

I fail often, but intentionally surround myself with others who can pick me up. I have an engineering degree from the University of Florida (Go Gators!) and an MBA from Rice. I have spent my entire career in the chemicals industry, starting out in R&D, but spending the last 10+ years in various commercial roles. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, FL, spent 4 years in South Carolina, and have lived in the Houston area since 2007.
