Our History

From Vision...

Kingdom Christian Academy was originally a vision of a respected Christian farmer and former Advisory Council Member, Mr. Paul Bastian, from northwestern Callaway County. He envisioned a Christian school located in Callaway County, Missouri.

To Action...

From this vision a number of discussions commenced and meetings were held with others in the community. An important and historical meeting for KCA was held in 1994 at Richland Baptist Church in Kingdom City. The meeting was attended by a variety of Christian families from various denominational backgrounds. It was discovered that those in attendance shared a common vision and a desire to have a Christian education alternative in the area. Simultaneously, as continues today, there public concern that the Christian faith appeared to be under attack in public institutions, arising from issues such as "prayer in school", "creation versus evolution", and "Christian holidays". From the courage and faith of our founding families, Kingdom Christian Academy was formed. A Steering Committee played a large role in establishing our school as it worked to form our Articles of Incorporation, and our By-Laws.

To Successful School...

Finally! On September 5, 1995, Kingdom Christian Academy opened its doors to an original student body of 42 students from Kindergarten through the Eighth Grade representing a variety of Christian denominations and religious backgrounds. Our classes were held in borrowed space donated by the First Baptist Church, located at 701 Court Street, in Fulton.

We Continue to Grow...

In 2007, Kingdom Christian Academy began to offer preschool services and fill a need for more preschools in our community. By adding the preschool to our growth over the past decade, KCA now has over 110 students enrolled overall. Some of our parents have also expressed a desire that KCA add high school services. This is a direction we will continue to study and pursue.

Our Future Is Before Us...

As long as we continue to experience growth, KCA envisions a need for more space for classrooms and more flexibility. Since we operate as "non-profit", our finances for growth are limited. Therefore, KCA continues to seek out volunteers and donors to help support our school. We are currently seeking a donation of 10-15 acres of land, suitable for our future building needs. We are also seeking financial donations to assist us with expansion to meet our growth needs. If you are capable of helping us fulfill this need, or know someone who can, please direct them to a member of the School Board, or the Building, Site Selection, and Building Finance Committee (BSSBFC) by contacting the main office at 642-2117.

Personal Testimony

My firstborn daughter was enrolled in Kingdom Christian Academy after my experience with a prior attempt to enroll her elsewhere.

I had attended an orientation meeting at a different local school and met some of the other parents, whose children potentially would be going to school with my child in Kindergarten.

I remember a father of a young girl that arrived with a t-shirt depicting a large marijuana logo on its front. I was concerned that my child would be going to school with other children that may have grown up with similar bad influences and I didn't want those negative influences to affect my child, especially since the early years of a child's life are the most important..

I wanted my child to be safe, in a quality school, and around positive Christian influences.

A friend told me about Kingdom Christian Academy. I found the tuition rates to be affordable, and a quite a value compared to other Christian schools in the surrounding region. So I chose to enroll my child.

Once enrolling my daughter in Kingdom Christian Academy, I felt like I became part of "the family" of parents, teachers, and staff. I have seen with my own eyes how children can learn quickly when God is part of the curriculum.

Today, all four of my children are enrolled in Kingdom Christian Academy.

I am always humbled when I visit one of the classrooms early in the morning and hear our students reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America. And I'm humbled again when I hear a student make a prayer request for the needs of others. Wow! How I love KCA!.

I welcome you to join us and become part of the KCA family and begin enjoying the benefits offered.
