At St. Louis Christian College, we are not only committed to academic excellence, but also to helping our students develop relational ministry skills. Our small class sizes allow you to get to know your professors on a deeper level.

The ministry expertise of faculty assures that you are getting the education needed to go beyond the walls of St. Louis Christian College. Through our Compass Program (a field education requirement for all SLCC students) we also provide many opportunities for students to work alongside faculty and staff outside of the classroom for ministry, community service, mission trips and more. The relationships SLCC students cultivate with their professors continue long after graduation.

St. Louis Christian College awards a number of scholarships to qualified students. These scholarships are both endowed and institutionally funded awards. Criteria varies depending upon the particular scholarship. The full value of the scholarship will be split equally between the fall and the spring semester. Students attending only the fall or spring semester will only receive the half value of the scholarship.

From its inception, St. Louis Christian College has provided Bible-centered higher education to equip men and women as leaders who impact the world for Christ. The College was founded to meet the ministry needs of the St. Louis region. In June 1956, three St. Louis ministers met to discuss a common concern: the need for leadership in the churches of the St. Louis region. Luther Perrine, Hubert Burris, and Vernon Newland reviewed the evangelistic decline of the previous quarter century and proposed to found a Bible college as a "center of evangelism" for the St. Louis region. Out of that proposal, St. Louis Christian College was established.

In the first year, faculty responsibilities were distributed among 11 ministers. Nineteen students enrolled. In the following years, full-time teachers were appointed and an 11.5-acre campus was secured at the present location. Luther Perrine became the first president in 1957. Russell Boatman became academic dean in 1962, serving in that capacity through June 1978. Glenn Bourne became president in June 1966. He served in that capacity through June 1978. St. Louis Christian College attained accreditation with the American Association of Bible Colleges and enjoyed growth in facilities, faculty, enrollment and influence during the President Glenn Bourne and Dean Russell Boatman administration.

For the duration of the 2016-17 school year, St. Louis Christian College was led by a four-person Presidential Transition Team. The team members that served from July-December 2016 were: Don Sanders, Dr. Ken Johnson, Pamela Ralls, and Dr. Mike Pabarcus. Team members that served from January-May 2017 were: Dr. Ken Johnson, Dr. Ladd Haverly, Harold Merritt and Scott Womble.

In June 2017, Terry Stine became the sixth president of St. Louis Christian College. Mr. Stine came from Boise Bible College, where he began as Professor of Missions in 2005 and then served as President from 2007-2017.
