Who We Are
THE KCC STORY
A Community Called to Christ-Centered Education
In the spring of 1950, ten Kansas City families gathered to pray for the education of their children. They shared a deep concern about the cessation of prayer and the teaching of evolution that had begun in schools. They were passionate about providing a Christ-centered alternative to public school—a solid biblical foundation that presented every subject in the light of God’s unchanging truth. They were called to serve their own families and the Christian community of Kansas City— both in Kansas and Missouri. Through a series of miracles, God began to clarify their purpose and strengthen their calling, and the group grew quickly to represent eight churches. Just one year later, the Kansas City Christian School was formed.
STATEMENT OF BELIEFS
We believe the Bible was inspired by God, inerrant in its original writing and the supreme and final authority in faith and life.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe God the Father created the heaven and earth.
We believe Jesus Christ, the Son (i) was conceived by the Holy Spirit, (ii) suffered and was crucified, (iii) died and was buried, (iv) rose on the third day, (v) ascended to heaven (vi) is presently with the Father and (vii) will return to judge the living and the dead.
We believe that every person is sinful and, unless forgiven, will be eternally separated from God.
We believe that forgiveness of sins comes only from (i) acknowledging one’s own sin, (ii) believing that Christ’s death and resurrection serves as a substitutionary sacrifice for our sins and (iii) asking God for forgiveness.
We believe that all who have received God’s forgiveness through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, are filled with the Holy Spirit and will be resurrected in body when Jesus returns to judge the living and the dead and that those individuals will spend eternity with God.
