OUR MISSION AND FOUNDING

​

Mosaic Christian College, originally known as West Coast Bible College & Seminary (WCBCS), was founded in 2006 with a clear mission: creating disciples of Christ without creating disciples of debt. As a DBA (Doing Business As) of Casa do Oleiro International Ministries (CdO), the college operates as an extension of CdO’s global ministry efforts, equipping students with a Christ-centered education while ensuring affordability.

WCBCS was originally based in Los Angeles, California, where its name reflected its regional identity. After relocating to Texas, the institution maintained its name to preserve brand continuity. However, as the college expanded its reach beyond the West Coast, leadership recognized the need for a name that better represented its global impact, diverse student body, and commitment to biblical education.

A SEASON OF GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION

With an increasing number of students from across the United States and around the world, the college leadership began evaluating how to best serve a diverse and growing student population. This review led to a strategic decision to transition to a name that more accurately reflected the mission and vision of the institution.In January 2025, West Coast Bible College & Seminary officially became Mosaic Christian College. The new name captures the biblical principle of unity within diversity, as found in 1 Corinthians 12:12—just as a mosaic is made up of many unique pieces forming a greater whole, so too is the Body of Christ. This change not only eliminates geographical limitations but also strengthens the college’s identity as a globally focused, biblically grounded institution.

A VISION THAT BEGAN DECADES AGO

The vision for Mosaic Christian College began in 1987 when President Kevin Harrison attended Impact '87 and was deeply moved by the passion for discipleship and ministry training expressed by Lloyd Zeigler. This moment sparked a long-term vision to create a practical, relevant, and affordable Bible college that would prepare students for real-world ministry without financial burdens.

By 1999, Harrison had refined this vision and began gathering a team of biblically grounded and academically trained men and women who shared his heart for ministry and education. Their goal was clear: launch a Bible college that combined sound theological instruction with practical, debt-free education.

THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH AND GLOBAL REACH

After years of planning and development, West Coast Bible College & Seminary officially launched in 2006 as an online college and seminary. The decision to go online allowed the institution to minimize costs and maximize accessibility, making it possible for students to pursue their education while continuing their ministry, work, and family commitments.Mosaic Christian College remains deeply connected to Casa do Oleiro International Ministries (CdO), an organization dedicated to church planting, missions, and humanitarian efforts. Since its inception, CdO has helped establish hundreds of churches across Brazil, Africa, India, Russia, and other parts of the world, as well as orphanages and mission outreach programs. With a vision to see over one million people come to Christ and plant 500 new churches in the next decade, CdO’s mission aligns seamlessly with the purpose of Mosaic Christian College: to equip the next generation of Christian leaders to make a lasting impact for the Kingdom of God.

Today, Mosaic Christian College continues to provide high-quality, biblically grounded education to students worldwide, empowering them to fulfill their calling, make disciples, and advance the Gospel. As we look to the future, we remain steadfast in our mission to train leaders for Christ while ensuring that financial barriers never stand in the way of answering God’s call.
