The Great Commission to reach the world with the Gospel of Christ is a great responsibility. There is no predicting when the call to serve comes. To some, it comes at a young age, and for others, it comes later. Whenever God calls, and you are ready to answer, we are here to help.
Hyles-Anderson College knows what the married students face. You are not only concerned about passing your classes. There is work to do, bills to pay, children to rear, meals to provide, a house to upkeep, and a spouse to be attentive towards. It seems there are not enough hours in the day! The Hyles-Anderson College family offers support, help, and encouragement along every step of the journey. You are not in this alone.
God has great plans for you. We would love to have a part in helping you fulfill God’s will for your life.
Opportunities
There are many opportunities for married couples to get involved at Hyles-Anderson College. Hyles-Anderson College offers incentives to encourage married students to attend college together. Daryl Whitehouse, Dean of Married Students, and his wife, Laurie, plan and provide social activities throughout the year including a couples’ retreat and Valentine’s banquet. The College Married Couples’ Sunday school class is also available. This class provides teaching that focuses on specific needs of today’s married couple.
The ministries of First Baptist Church of Hammond offer ample opportunities to serve the Lord. Ministries such as the bus ministry, the sailor ministry, and the chapel ministry are family-friendly and will allow you to get your family involved.
Our goal at Hyles-Anderson College is that married couples will leave here not only with notebooks full of vital teaching from the classroom, but also with a deeper love for each other and with a passion to serve the Lord “together.”
Hylander Wives’ Fellowship
All wives of Hyles-Anderson students are provided a special program to help meet their needs because they are also a part of the college family. Hylander Wives’ Fellowship is held every second and fourth Tuesday evening of the month at 7:00 p.m. at the college. Mrs. Jack Schaap is in charge of these meetings. Subjects pertinent to leaders’ wives are discussed. The meetings are closed with refreshments and fellowship. This time of fellowship affords a wonderful opportunity to make new friends who will last a lifetime. A nursery is provided for these fellowships. As a Hylander wife, you can learn to be a successful leader’s wife, you will be challenged as a Christian, and you will receive practical helps on how to be a better wife and mother.
Testimonies
 The McCoy Family |
The McCoy Family Being a married student at Hyles-Anderson College definitely had its challenges. I am very thankful for the incredibly helpful staff, such as Dr. David Stubblefield, who helped me to find the proper balance in scheduling my classes. Daryl Whitehouse and his wife, Laurie, were a great encouragement to my wife and me. They always seemed to have the perfect antidote for our rigorous schedule with just the right activities.

 The Carter Family |
The Carter Family I often think about what a wonderful preparation that Hyles-Anderson College provided for my family and me. When I arrived, I was married and had three children. The college had everything that we needed to graduate and be successful in the ministry. My entire family was able to get involved in the ministries of the First Baptist Church of Hammond. To this day, the Whitehouse family are counted as our dear friends. They loved and cared for us in a special way. Billy Carter |
