History
In 1938 Kansas City Bible School started in the basement of a church in Kansas City. Students lived in nearby houses rented as dormitories and studied under part-time teachers. Six students graduated the next year. There have been over 1200 graduates since.
In 1941, A. C. Watkins, Morey Shaver, Doctor C.E. Cowen, and others purchased a section of land south of the city. At the corner of what was then 74th and Highway 69, the twelve acres that had formerly served as Dr. UHL’s Sanitarium began to be transformed into a college campus. Since that time, Overland Park has surrounded the campus and much of its landscape has changed.
Campus
Six primary buildings comprise the facilities. Cowen Memorial Auditorium houses administrative offices and an auditorium/ gymnasium. The 20,000-square-foot Palmer Education Center includes libraries, classrooms, offices, and a science lab. Shaver Hall houses a dormitory, the cafeteria, three apartments, a guest room, student lounges, and laundry facilities. The college classroom building provides for classrooms, a student lounge, and faculty offices. The chapel building houses a 300-seat sanctuary, a piano studio, four practice rooms, and a classroom.
