Overland Christian Schools
Our History
Overland Christian Schools traces its roots to it’s parent organization, Kansas City College and Bible School which was founded in 1938 in Kansas City, Missouri in the basement of a local church.
In the summer of 1941, the school, realizing that it needed to expand, moved to its present location in Overland Park, Kansas. The campus of about eleven acres became the present home of the Bible college and Christian school. A major building program was launched in 1965 with the erection of a dormitory that included kitchen and dining facilities, a two-story classroom building, and a multi-purpose auditorium. Overland Christian Schools officially opened its doors in 1938 consisting of only a high school department. In 1961 the junior high school got its start and the elementary department followed only a few years later in 1964. The early childhood center opened in 2010, receiving state certification. Overland Christian Schools is one of the oldest continuously-operating Christian schools in the Kansas City metro area. All of these departments remain open in an effort to reach the children of northern Overland Park and the surrounding communities by providing a strong educational foundation from a biblical perspective.
Our Vision
Our Mission
Statement of Faith
We believe in the Trinity, consisting of God the Father who is Creator of all things and in whom all things exist; Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, who is the Supreme Head of the Church, which He redeemed unto God by His own Blood; and the Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity.
We believe in justification through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. We believe in sanctification as a second definite work of grace wrought in the heart of the believer. It includes a complete consecration to God on the part of the believer, and the work of grace itself cleanses from the principle of sin and fills the void with the Holy Spirit.
We believe in water baptism as an outward sign that an inward work has taken place. We believe in the second advent of our Savior, Jesus Christ, in physical and visible form.
We believe that there is only one true church composed of those who savingly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, infallibly true as originally inspired, constituting our only divinely authorized rule of faith and practice.
