MARSHALL, Texas  (2/27/15) -  After weeks of speculation on who was the special guest to speak in Chapel at East Texas Baptist University the students, faculty, and staff welcomed Jep Robertson of A&E's Duck Dynasty to campus. Robertson spoke Friday morning before a capacity crowd in Baker Auditorium of the Ornelas Spiritual Life Center.

BAPTIST STANDARD-  (2/13/15) - Because East Texas Baptist University is a private Christian university, many people assume nearly all the students who go here are Christian. Not necessarily.

Some choose ETBU because the school offers them an opportunity to participate in athletics. Many students attend ETBU to get a great education in an environment where there is more one-on-one interaction with professors. They don't all come here because they want to know more about God.

MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER (1/24/15) -  Almost 38 years after he joined Central Baptist Church as pastor, Wallace Watkins bid adieu to his flock to warm wishes and fond memories.

"There's a friend of mine who said, Wallace Watkins is not a famous pastor but probably should be," said Patrick Adair, Central's new pastor. "From my perspective it was a tremendous honor and blessing to be able to follow in Wallace's footsteps."

Watkins retired from his pastorship on Jan. 1 but the church held a service on Jan. 11 to say farewell.
