It is a non-denominational school serving students from the Northwest Missouri and Northeast Kansas area.
Local businessman Joe Gregory founded the school in 1988, after receiving a vision, while in a Texas hotel, to build a Christian school in St. Joseph.
He made a successful $30,000 sealed bid to buy the former Everett School at 14th and Olive in downtown St. Joseph, which had closed in 1985.
It is at the corner of Riverside Road and Gene Field Rd catty-cornered from the St. Joseph Youth Soccer Association in the 102 River bottoms.
The school's parent organization is the Area Ministers for Christ Corporation.
