VISION & CORE VALUES

 

VISION

CCS equips children of diverse abilities and backgrounds to reach their highest academic potential, to grow spiritually in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and to discover how to serve God with their gifts.

 

MISSION

CCS exists to glorify God by providing a quality Christian education and Christian role models for students, equipping them to have a positive impact in the world for Christ.

 

CORE VALUES

Core values are the school's guiding principles or values that direct the school in fulfilling its mission.  These essential and enduring tenets are not to be compromised for financial or short-term expediency.  Core values define the school's culture.  They minimize the risk of wasting time on competing directions.  They help determine resource allocation.  They guide the school when dealing with difficult times or issues.

CCS will:

 

·         Embrace a Christ-Centered Academic Institution

We glorify God by following Christ in all our endeavors.  We ask ourselves, “If Christ were here, how would He want this done?”

 

·         Pursue academic, spiritual, and leadership excellence

We believe that God has a plan unique for each of us.  At CCS, we develop curriculum and programs that empower our children with the skills and tools to fulfill their potential.

 

·         Nurture a loving, Christian environment

We believe that each student should feel safe, accepted, and loved by his or her peers, staff, families, and friends.  As a Christian community, we are called to work together, encourage each other, and develop Christian love enabling us to achieve our goals.

 

·         Fulfill our responsibility to our church as a mission to the community

As a church-sanctioned school, we have a responsibility to follow Christ’s example, learning to become good servants and disciples of Christ.  As servants, we serve both our church and our community at large.

 

·         Prayerfully seek God’s plan with the resources He has given to us

As stewards of the resources that God has given us, we are responsible for using wisdom in our decisions.  By dutifully praying for the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we have faith that our decision will follow God’s Plan.

 

 

STATEMENT OF FAITH

The following is the doctrinal position held by CCS.  All personnel serving in any official school capacity are expected to personally hold to these convictions and teach them.

Statement of Faith

1.  We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, inerrant Word of God. (II Timothy 3:15-17; II Peter 1:21)

 

2.  We believe there is one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30)

 

3.  We believe in the deity of Christ (John 10:33):

 

     His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:35),

     His sinless life (Hebrews 4:15; Hebrews 7:26),

     His miracles (John 2:11),

     His vicarious and atoning death (I Corinthians 15:3; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9),

     His resurrection (John 11:25; I Corinthians 15:4),

     His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Mark 16:19), and

     His personal return in power and glory (Acts 1:11; Revelation 19:11).

 

4.  We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding

     sinfulness of human nature; and that men are justified on the single ground of faith in the shed blood of Christ and

     that only by God's grace and through faith alone we are saved. (John 3:16-19; John 5:24; Romans 3:23;

     Romans 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10; Titus 3:5)

 

5.  We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; that they are saved unto the resurrection of life, and

     that they are lost unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:28-29)

 

6.  We believe the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13;

     Galatians 3:26-28)

 

7.  We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly

     life.  (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16; I Corinthians 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30; Ephesians 5:18)
