Overview

Originally known as Kansas City Bible School, the college was founded in 1938 in the basement of the Church of God (Holiness) at 29th and Askew in Kansas City. A bulletin printed in the early years of the college explained the purpose of the institution: "Its purpose is two-fold: to train for service young people who love the Lord, and to lead into the blessed experiences of salvation and sanctification, those who do not have this close walk with Him. In order to further the achievement of these ends, training is offered in the following departments: 1. Theological 2. Missionary 3. Liberal arts 4. Education 5. Business There is also a Short Course for Preachers given in the first six weeks of the Second Semester."

In 1941, school officials purchased the 12-acre campus of the Uhls Sanitarium in southern Johnson County, Kansas, and changed the school's name to Kansas City College and Bible School. In 1947, a new chapel and classroom building was built, and the school added a grade school classroom in 1959 to accommodate what is now Overland Christian Schools, and in 1965, three additional buildings were constructed: a large gymnasium, a two-story classroom building and a three-level dorm and dining area.

In 2015, the college began to offer a religion degree program online. KCCBS also voted to change its name to Kansas Christian College (KCC).
