Just east of the city (on US Highway 80) was the former home of '''Ambassador College''', which was affiliated with the [[Worldwide Church of God]] before the campus was sold (after the death of its founder, [[Herbert W. Armstrong]], and the new denominational leaders renouncing much of his theology). The campus is now the headquarters of the '''[[Institute in Basic Life Principles]]''', the controversial sect (some go so far as to label it a cult) founded by [[Bill Gothard]], known for its legalistic teachings on strict obedience to authority and homeschooling (the Duggar clan, featured on TLC, were adherents). Even so, the area is still a hub for much of Armstrong's teachings.
