It initially opened for classes on September 19, 1927.^{[citation needed]} The school's name was changed to Manhattan Bible College in 1930, and on July 1, 1971, the name was changed again to Manhattan Christian College.

MCC is historically affiliated with nondenominational, independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ of the Restoration Movement. While many of the students and all the professors have a background in the Christian Church/Churches of Christ congregations, students from various denominational backgrounds are encouraged and welcomed.

The school is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission North Central Association of Colleges and Schools^[3] and the Association for Biblical Higher Education.^[4]
