A Brief History of MCS.JPG)
a burden on the hearts of the men and women of Bible Community Church in an age
of moral and spiritual decline in public education. Influenced by the writings
of Mark Facama, those sharing this burden prayerfully investigated the
possibility of beginning a Christian school. Pastor Ashbrook preached about the
need for Christian education, and Mr. Thomas Hurst attended several conferences
on Christian schools to gain insights into the possibility.
The Session of Bible
Community Church voted to begin MCS in 1967 with a kindergarten class. As the
Lord prospered, one grade and one teacher was added each year until 1980, when
the first class was graduated from MCS. A school board was created with three
men serving; one of these men, Charles Adams, later served as principal.

Christian School was housed at the church property on Hopkins Road until it
began its 6th grade. At this time, the school was moved to its current location
at 8600 Lakeshore Boulevard. It soon became apparent that there was a need for
more classrooms. God made this possible, and the school was able to purchase
modular buildings that were available from the Xenia School System in southern
Ohio. The current building was dedicated in 1978. |
