In the fall of 1961 the ministry of Mansfield Christian School began in the lower level of Marion Avenue Grace Brethren Church. The school started with thirty-five students and three faculty members. For a little over two years, the school operated at this location. These first parents and staff members held to the conviction that parents have been given the responsibility by God to teach and train their children. They also held to the principle that education should result from a Biblical philosophy and the next generation should be taught a Christian worldview.

In the fall of 1963 the school was moved to the new facilities located on Logan Road. A gift of forty acres allowed the school to build its first building. In subsequent years, the school experienced four building expansions that included additional classrooms, a gymnasium, athletic fields, and a student-run radio station, WVMC. By 1972 the first graduating class with nineteen students received their diplomas.

Over the past 45 years the Lord has been very faithful to our parents, students, and staff. Each time period has been clearly marked with the Lord’s hand of providence as He has moved to bless the ministry. Mansfield Christian School has remained true to its mission as an extension of the Christian home and church by teaching His words “diligently unto our children.”
