Todd Barton, Minister of Youth

Todd Barton has been the Minister of Youth at Arlington Baptist Church since June 2004. He was raised in a Christian home in Oak Lawn, Illinois, where going to church and pleasing God was expected and taught. Although he had such strong Christian heritage growing up, Christ never became personal to him; rather He was just part of a religious practice. However, because of God’s grace and persistence, at the end of his senior year of high school Todd recognized his need for a personal relationship with Christ - a relationship which was unattainable apart from Christ’s death on the cross. On May 19, 1992, he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior.

Because Pastor Todd believed the Lord was calling him to youth ministry, he went to study at Northland Baptist Bible College in Dunbar, Wisconsin. In 1996, he graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Youth Ministries. The summer following graduation, he married his high school sweetheart, Wendy Sparks, and moved to Lansdale, Pennsylvania, to attend Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary. In May 2001, he received his Master of Divinity degree and following graduation began ministering at Highland Baptist Church in Parkesburg, Pennsylvania, as the Associate Pastor. After ministering there for three years, God made it clear that He wanted Pastor Todd to use his talents in youth ministries, and He opened the door for him to be a Minister of Youth in the spring of 2004. The Bartons received the call for the Minister of Youth at Arlington Baptist later that June.

The Bartons have three children, Kaleen (2000), Janel (2003) and Garrett (2005), and reside in the Windsor Mill area.
