After a prayerful search, God opened the door for Dave VanDonge to serve as Legacy’s new Senior Pastor! Dave brings with him a clear calling from God to lead and serve, along with a deep passion for faithfully communicating and guarding God’s Word. He is a humble and experienced leader with a true pastor’s heart for people. We are incredibly grateful for how God has led us to this point and are looking expectantly to the future that God has in store for Dave and Legacy Christian Church. Get to know Dave here.

Project Advance is a strategic initiative that will unite Legacy Christian Church as we partner with God to advance His Kingdom by creating life-changing opportunities to reach more people for Jesus! Your commitment to PRAY, TELL, and GIVE with a renewed focus over the next two years will accelerate Kingdom impact. Together, as we partner with God, we will work to identify and break down barriers that could prevent someone from experiencing the life-transforming love of Jesus.

With five campuses and thousands of lives transformed over the years, Legacy Christian Church celebrated 50 years of ministry. The 50th anniversary weekend was filled with opportunities to celebrate God’s work, engage in fellowship, learn about Legacy’s story, and be inspired by examples of faith. There was a unique “Building a Legacy” program that emphasized the great multi-generational impact of Legacy Christian Church.

Over the years, Legacy continued to grow and live on mission to make disciples. With objectives to implement more space for spiritually forming people, the lower level of the Overland Park Campus beneath the sanctuary was finished with multiple Sunday school rooms, large group meeting spaces, and the gym. These venues provided room for activities (like Men’s basketball) that were catalytic for connecting people to biblical community. Children’s and youth ministers were added to the staff, and support for local and global missions continued to grow as our church raised up Timothies for disciple-making.

Another building program resulted in the current sanctuary and gym of the Overland Park Campus, with unfinished space on the lower level of the sanctuary. Worship began in the new facility in the fall of 1979.

We give praise to God for how He has worked to assemble the Senior Pastor Search Team. This team has been prayerfully assembled and includes members from all of Legacy’s campuses representing a great diversity of age, gender, backgrounds, and race. This group of individuals, led by elders Mike Shelton and Joel DeBoer, are deeply committed to discerning God’s will for our church and serving all of Legacy’s campuses with a unified purpose. The Search Team will conduct an extensive search to identify ideal candidates who align with Legacy’s vision and mission and will approach this process of finding a new Senior Pastor with much care and patience. We ask each of you for your help by diligently praying as we seek God’s will.
