Our Mission Statement Warrensburg Christian School seeks to provide each child with quality care, as well as an opportunity to learn and grow in a nurturing, Christ-centered environment that promotes optimal, individualized academic and spiritual development. It is our desire to inspire students to lead a life that honors and reflects God and Family.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
