Our Visionary and Founder Graduates with Master’s Degree from East Carolina University




Today on May 10, 2025, history was made again for ARGJ Ministries Inc. as Our Visionary and Founder, Anthony R. Gardner Jr., walked across the stage of East Carolina University to officially receive His Master of Arts in Adult Education. This incredible achievement comes just 17 months after earning His first degree, a Bachelor’s in University Studies in December 2023 from the same university.
This is more than a graduation — it is a bold celebration of endurance, faith, and the undeniable hand of God at work in His life. From classroom to ministry leadership, and through seasons of health challenges and obstacles, Anthony has remained focused and faithful to the assignment God placed on his life.
His journey stands as a powerful testimony that when God ordains your steps, no obstacle can cancel your purpose. Balancing academics, ministry leadership, and personal trials, Anthony has now completed two academic degrees at ECU while continuing to lead and expand the work of ARGJ Ministries Inc.
As part of this special occasion, Anthony was blessed to capture a memorable moment with His instructors and professors from the Department of Adult Education at ECU, whose mentorship and support played an important role in His success.
And yet, this is only the beginning. Anthony is already preparing for the next step: pursuing His Doctorate (Ph.D.) in Educational Leadership, further equipping himself to serve, lead, and empower others in both ministry and education.
This accomplishment embodies the very vision of ARGJ Ministries Inc.: to inspire, strengthen, and encourage others to walk boldly in their God-given purpose. It is a living reminder to everyone connected to this ministry that no setback can stop a comeback when God is writing your story.
We proudly celebrate Our Visionary and Founder, Anthony R. Gardner Jr., as He steps boldly into the next chapter of purpose, service, and continued impact.
Stay connected, stay inspired, and stay expectant — because God is not finished yet.
