History
On September 7, 1976, Westminster Christian Academy opened its doors - for the first two years in rented classrooms at Missouri Baptist College - to 72 students. The opening was the culmination of several years of planning and prayer by a number of families, many of whom were members of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Synod (RPCES), who desired a Christian secondary education from a Reformed perspective. Several of the founding Board members were associated with Covenant Theological Seminary in Creve Coeur, the national seminary of the RPCES (In 1978, the RPCES was received by the newly formed Presbyterian Church in America). The founding Board of Directors, who received incorporation from the State of Missouri on September 8, 1975, included the following: Lee Brown, Rex Brown, Bobby Duck, who oversaw the finances for nearly a decade, Synesio Lyra, who had earlier helped to start Covenant Christian School (now Twin Oaks Christian School), Robert Luedde, Robert Miller, James Routszong, Patrick Tharp, Al Thomas, and three professors from Covenant Theological Seminary, Joe Hall, Robert Reymond, and George Knight.
