Join us for Fall Retreat 2025 happening October 25–26. Open to all 9th–12th grade students, this weekend retreat costs $60 and is designed to equip students with the confidence, tools, and strategies to boldly share and defend their faith with their peers. Centered around the theme “Abide,” based on John 15:1–11, we’ll explore what it means to remain in Christ, and how that connection empowers us to make Him known to others.

Throughout the weekend, students will engage in a meaningful blend of preaching, personal and guided Bible studies, student testimonials, small group conversations, and hands-on opportunities to practice sharing the gospel and their own stories. Our vision is for every student to leave the retreat more rooted in Christ and more prepared to reflect His truth and love in their daily lives.

Back Snacks

Posted on by

Where Compassion Meets Hunger

Back Snacks is Legacy Lee’s Summit’s ministry to the schools, families, and children in need of our community. We are committed to ensuring that children attending our schools are fed over the weekend. Recognizing the challenges some students face, we extend a helping hand by providing snacks to those in need.

We believe that every child deserves the chance to focus on their studies, fun, and family, enjoying childhood without the burden of hunger. Through the kindness of our volunteers and generous supporters, we assemble weekend snack packs filled with treats, ensuring that these students return to school on Monday recharged, ready to learn, and equipped with the energy they need to thrive.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these young individuals, empowering them to reach their full potential and build meaningful connection in their families’ hearts and minds with the Lord’s Church.

Sword Ceremony

Posted on by

Legacy partners with parents to disciple the next generation!

Parents of first graders! Sword Ceremony is a special day at Legacy because parents celebrate a discipleship milestone of reading and learning God’s Word! Ephesians 6 says that the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit!

The Sword Ceremony is one of nine Legacy Landmarks. Each year, Legacy gives a Kids Bible to all first graders who are part of Legacy as an encouragement for them to grow in their love for God and His Word! Parents also are given the opportunity to give a special blessing to their kids. These blessings consist of meaningful prayer about the future and instill commitment in the hearts of kids.

Want a free Bible for your 1st grader?

Legacy will provide a free Kids Bible to all first graders! A special part of this gift is that it comes with a customized blessing from you in the cover. A Children’s Minister will reach out to you and give you steps for submitting your customized blessing! (You must have a first grader part of Legacy Kids programming).

See Examples of blessings sign up now

When does my child get their Bible?

Legacy has planned a very special time for all parents and first graders on September 14. Parents will receive the Bibles to give to their children, have time to read their blessings over their children, and can celebrate together. Contact your Campus Elementary Minister if you have not yet received communication about this upcoming event.

What are Legacy Landmarks?

Legacy Landmarks

These discipleship milestones are Legacy’s plan for partnering with parents as they disciple the next generation! Our integrated family ministries starts with new babies and walks alongside of parents/guardians as they train their child up in the way of Jesus!

1. Parent Child Dedication – Legacy will celebrate parents who are publicly committing to raise up their children in the way of the Lord and His Church.

2. Sword Ceremony – Incoming first graders will be presented with a Children’s Bible by their parent or guardian. They will be encouraged to grow in their love for the Lord and His Word.

3. Baptism- As the culmination of a child’s faith decision, baptism by immersion happens once a child chooses to put their faith in Jesus and publicly confesses Him as Lord and Savior.

4. Upgrade – Incoming sixth graders are prayed over and welcomed into a new phase of life – Legacy’s Student Ministry.

5. Identity in Christ – Teens will be introduced to concepts of biblical masculinity and femininity and challenged to live a life of purity.

Shepherding Elders Ordination Service

Posted on by

October 12 | 4:00pm | At the overland Park campus

Elder Ordination Service

Pending the approval of the nominees, we will celebrate the ordination of Legacy’s newest shepherding elders. Service will include a program and intentional time of prayer at the Overland Park Campus. All are invited!

The men listed below have completed the examination process as prescribed by Legacy’s Elder Manual. They are found in compliance with all biblical and local qualifications prescribed in scripture and the Elder Manual. Legacy’s current Elders are unanimously recommending these men to be ordained as Shepherding Elders of Legacy Christian Church.

We believe a local church does not select its leaders, but rather is to recognize men whom the Holy Spirit has called and equipped for leadership ministries. This process of recognizing and affirming whom God is raising up among us is an issue of eternal importance. Please keep all of our Elders and, in particular, these new candidates in your prayers.

Rusty Huntsman, Olathe Campus
Jeremy Mason, Blue Valley Campus
Robin Wilderson, Overland Park Campus

What is a Campus Shepherding Elder?

At each Legacy Campus a team of Shepherding Elder is responsible for the spiritual oversight and shepherding of God’s people on their campus. This includes all matters of pastoral care and church discipline.

The Campus Pastor will function as a first among equals on this team and will be responsible to lad and equip then for effective service.

As shepherding is the primary function of elders all Legacy Elders are expected to continue in active service on one of these teams.

Shepherding elders serve an indefinite term. Every December they will be asked to recommit themselves to service for the coming year. We believe God raises and calls elders into service. Shepherding elders should serve until they no longer feel called to the office or cannot fulfill their responsibilities.

Shepherding elders who fail to fulfill their assigned responsibilities will be first admonished and possibly removed from eldership by consensus of the other elders.
