Leading with Boldness
Students at CCS are encouraged to volunteer to lead devotion. Seeing these young boys and girls lead their peers and be bold in their faith is so amazing to watch! God is moving and working in the hearts of our students and we cannot wait to see what they will do for the kingdom as they continue to learn, grow, and serve.
Prayer Warriors
Using Our Talents for His Glory
Students are using their gifts and talents to glorify the Lord by assisting and leading in worship. We love seeing them step up and be willing to lead by singing, playing instruments, running video and sound equipment, and anything else needed to help each day as we worship together.
Getting to Know Coach Penny
Upper school students gathered around to here an encouraging message from Coach Penny. Coach shared about his testimony, about God's work in his life, and how he came to be at CCS. He challenged students to embrace an attitude and heart that shows "HE is greater than Me" as they grow in their personal walk with the Lord.
