Though Dr. MacArthur was not a part of the Baptist denomination, he was in complete agreement with the college’s doctrine and statement of faith and agreed to assume the position in 1985, while maintaining his pastorate and “Grace to You” radio ministry. That same year, LABC’s name was changed to The Master's College, a joint decision of Dr. MacArthur and the board of directors, who agreed that the school should become nondenominational.
