If the property gate is open, Rob is probably somewhere on campus—whether he's playing on the worship team on Sunday morning, cheering at one of our school’s many sports events, or ministering to a student. Rob is deeply invested in our church and school community, and his heart for both is unmistakable. Rob represents the second of three generations at SouthGate Church. He and his wife Heather began attending the church youth group as high schoolers and have since served in various ministries for over 30 years.
Rob Arthurs received his Bachelor's degree in Music Education while playing percussion at Arizona State University. He later earned his Master’s degree in Educational Leadership through Northern Arizona University. He began his teaching career in the Scottsdale Unified School District and has taught concert band, jazz band, percussion, drumline, and general music at all grade levels for the past thirty years. In 2006, Mr. Arthurs was hired by 91st Psalm Christian School to create a music program for the school, bringing 1st - 4th grade general music, along with concert and jazz bands for grades 5-12. Currently, Mr. Arthurs is the principal of 91st Psalm Christian School while continuing to teach 5th grade, 6th grade, Jr. High, and High School concert bands.
As the largest ministry of SouthGate Church, 91st Psalm Christian School plays a vital role in shaping the next generation by "Training Up Godly Servant-Leaders." Many of our church families have chosen the school for their children, and many school families have found a church home here at SouthGate. Under Rob’s leadership, that bridge continues to grow stronger—building a thriving, Christ-centered community for generations to come.
