OUR MISSION.
President’s Message
I have loved MCC ever since the first day I stepped on campus as a new student in 1981. It is the place God used to shape me, grow me, and mature me in every aspect of my life and leadership.
MCC provided the foundation of God’s Word, the strength of personal relationships with faculty and staff, and friendships that have lasted my whole life. I am excited that you would consider MCC and I can say from personal experience, it is a great choice.
We would love to host you as our guest on campus to see this first hand. Better yet, we’d love to have you as a student to continue your journey to be your best for Christ!
All of us at MCC are here to help however we can, and if I can help in any way, please feel free to reach out.
My email is kingram@mccks.edu, and if you are wondering, the students call me Prez Kev.
HERE I AM. SEND ME.

The ability to customize the Christian Ministry Degree was so useful in preparation.

Our Core Values
Manhattan Christian College is a private educational institution rooted in Christian values aimed at promoting a global Christian mission. Believing everyone in Christ’s community is a minister, it strives to nurture a worldwide church mission perspective in students. The college prepares students to emulate Christ’s servant leadership, fosters spiritual growth towards Christian maturity, and advocates for embodying New Testament-based Restoration Movement ideals.
- Lordship of Christ: All believers should live a life devoted to Jesus Christ, God’s Son, and our Lord and Savior that reflects Christ-like character and conduct.
- Excellence: As servants of Jesus Christ we must strive for excellence in ministry and life.
- Applying God’s Word: The inspired Word of God should be normative for faith and practice with effective exegesis used to rightly apply God’s Word to our daily lives.
- Discipleship: In fulfillment of the Great Commission, all believers, regardless of chosen profession, are included in God’s plan to make disciples of all nations.
- Evangelism: Christians are commanded to penetrate the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ and call all to a saving relationship with Him.
- Relationships: A Christian must have a high value placed on personal relationships built on God’s love, truth, and grace.
Stewardship: All believers are purely stewards of the time, talent, and treasure given to them by God. - Heart for learning: A heart for learning and personal growth is important to sustain a lifetime of service and commitment for Christ.
- Integrity: Christian leaders should live lives of integrity in public and private.
- Prayer: Practicing a life of prayer and worship is vital to live a life of service to Christ.
Philosophy of Education
Manhattan Christian College pleads for the unity of all believers on the common ground of commitment and obedience to the lordship of Christ. Believing that creeds of men, however correct, perpetuate sectarianism and create division within the church when made tests of fellowship, we have no creed except faith in Jesus as the Christ, God’s Son and humankind’s Savior. It is our desire to call all people of all nations to faith and obedience to Him as revealed in scripture. When asked, “What do you believe?”, it is tempting to hand one the Bible and suggest, “This is what we believe.” However, for those not familiar with Manhattan Christian College, it may be helpful to identify foundational doctrines taught in our classes based on our understanding of the Scriptures.
Our commitment to this transformational change at Manhattan Christian College is founded on four components:
- Learning Environment: We are all students and teachers engaged in lifelong learning and a spirit of inquiry characterized by self-awareness, dialogue, and relational connectedness. The learning environment is characterized by mutual trust, mutual respect, mutual helpfulness, freedom of expression, and acceptance of difference. The learning environment is collaborative and co-creative. Faculty and students co-create the space within which material is presented, discussed, and applied. A goal is to create a supportive space within which communication and learning may occur.
- Active Learning – The student’s active involvement in the learning process is essential to good practice. Faculty serve not only as teachers but also as facilitators of learning. They manage the learning process by engaging students in a variety of activities leading to an understanding of course content along with development of academic and professional competence.
- Collaboration – Students benefit from opportunities to network, learn from others, and share resources and ideas. The learning community provides a space for collaboration and connection.
- Emphasis on Application and Relevance – The best learning occurs when bridges are built between new knowledge and the learner’s experience. Education is not complete until acquisition of knowledge matures into relevant application.
