This Year's Theme:
Our theme verse for the 2026-27 school year is:
1 Corinthians 16:14: “Do everything in love.”
We chose this verse because it reminds us that love should be the foundation of everything we do - how we learn, how we teach, how we compete, how we serve, and how we treat one another. In a world that often values success over kindness, God calls us to reflect His love in our words, attitudes, and actions.
As we grow together this year, our prayer is that every classroom, conversation, and opportunity will be marked by Christ-like love that honors God and points others to Him.
Families are encouraged to pre-order their theme shirts using the link below!
Important Leadership Announcement for Columbus Christian School Families
Dear CCS Families,
We are excited to share some important news regarding the future leadership of Columbus Christian School.
The CCS School Board voted to appoint Mrs. Tami Williams as the next Head of School for Columbus Christian School, effective for the 2027-2028 school year.
During the 2026-2027 school year, Mrs. Williams will continue serving as our Secondary Principal while also working closely with Mr. Kendall Wildey throughout the year to ensure a smooth and successful leadership transition.
Mrs. Williams has faithfully served CCS in a variety of leadership roles and has demonstrated a deep commitment to our mission, students, families, and staff. We are confident that God will continue to use her gifts and leadership to guide our school in the years ahead.
We are also grateful for Mr. Wildey's leadership and dedication to CCS. Over the next year, he and Mrs. Williams will work together closely to prepare for this transition and continue building on the strong foundation that has been established.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Williams on this appointment and in praying for both Mrs. Williams and Mr. Wildey as they lead through this important season of transition.
Thank you for your continued support of Columbus Christian School and our mission of providing "Education with a Higher Purpose."
In Christ,
CCS Administration

"I’ve spent my life doing something I truly love - teaching!"
My name is Connie Sidener, and I’m excited to be completing my 8th year at CCS. Before coming to Indiana, I taught for many years and also served as the principal of a Christian school in Ohio. My husband and I made the move to Indiana to be closer to our daughter and her family, and it has been a wonderful blessing.
Family is one of my greatest joys! My husband and I have three children and five amazing grandchildren - three of my grandchildren are CCS graduates!
Most importantly, I love the Lord. He called me into Christian education many years ago, and I have never doubted that calling. There is nothing more rewarding than helping students grow academically while sharing with them the incredible love of Jesus. One of my favorite Bible passages is Psalm 8, which reminds us of God's majesty and His amazing love for each one of us.
I feel incredibly blessed to be part of the Brownstown Campus family. It is a privilege to partner with parents in providing students with an excellent education while helping them grow in their relationship with Christ. I look forward to getting to know each student and family and making this another wonderful year together!
