Our History

Bible Christian Church had its beginning on December 8, 1964 when 15 persons met for the purpose of establishing a church after the New Testament pattern.

By April 20, 1965, 22 had become charter members. The first meetings were held at Grant-Elder Chapel and Hope Chapel both on A street in Arkansas City.  Services were then held at 1005 South Summit until June of 1967.


On June 4, 1967 the church dedicated its first building at 1625 North 7th Street.

With added expenses and loss of membership, the church struggled during the late 1960's. Eastern Heights Christian Church in Ponca City, Oklahoma came to the rescue of Bible Christian Church by helping to obtain a minister and assist in paying the salary of the minister for over a year.

In September of 1970, H. Dean LaVelle was called to be the minister/evangelist for Bible Christian Church.

In March of 1972, the church was self-supporting, had purchased a parsonage and was showing a steady growth.

In 1977, the church purchased 9.3 acres of ground and dedicated its present building on September 9, 1984.
