St. Joseph Christian School is a private Christian school at 5401 Gene Field Road in St. Joseph, Missouri. 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.[1] In 2002, a new school was constructed on the city's northeast side. 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. As of 2023, The school currently has 530 students in grades PreK-12. The school is divided into two sections: elementary (prekindergarten through 6th grade) and secondary (7th grade through 12th grade). The school's parent organization is the Area Ministers for Christ Corporation.
