In 1938, a small group of people met under a shade tree near Tarrant Road and Freddie Street in East Ft. Worth for Bible study and worship. A short time later, Tarrant Road Baptist Church was organized with 28 members. For thirty years the church experienced God-driven growth through love and care to its community.

In an effort to reach out to a new community, God provided new property in Southwest Arlington, and on December 8, 1974, Lake Arlington Baptist Church (formerly Tarrant Road Baptist Church) broke ground for it’s new location. Lake Arlington Baptist Church has experienced tremendous growth by providing a loving atmosphere for families and individuals wanting to know and serve God.
