Sorry about the dirt!

If your elementary student come home a little extra dusty... most likely they've been playing in the ga ga ball enclosure. The kids love it so much that they have worn down all of the grass! Good news though... we are working on a solution that will hopefully make the area a little nicer.

Multiplication Mastery

Mrs. Tucker's 3rd grade math students are learning the basics of multiplication as they prepare to start committing multiplication facts to memory.

Classification and Sorting

Science is all about understanding the world God created. Part of our studying and understanding comes from organizing. Mrs. Smith's science class used a hand sorting science activity with some yummy fall snacks to get students engaged in this learning process. Hand sorting is a hands-on method where students use their fingers to manually separate different components from a solid mixture based on physical properties like size, shape, or color.

CCS Business Directory

We are excited to begin creating a Cullman Christian School business network, a new way for our school families to connect with and support businesses within our own CCS community.


If you or a member of your family owns or operates a business, provides a professional service, or is self-employed, we would love to include you!


Whether you’re a doctor, dentist, veterinarian, attorney, accountant, realtor, contractor, plumber, electrician, landscaper, photographer, insurance agent, small business owner, or provide another product or service, please complete the short form below.


The information will be compiled into a CCS Business Network Directory that families can use when they are looking for products and services. Our hope is simple: when a CCS family needs something, let’s give them an easy way to support another CCS family first.


Businesses will also have the option to offer a 10% discount to Cullman Christian families. Participation in the discount program is completely optional. You can still be included in the directory even if you are unable to offer a discount.


Please submit your business information by October 23rd. If you have a change throughout the year please let us know and your information can be updated.


Fill Out The Form HERE


We look forward to supporting one another and discovering just how many businesses and professionals are represented within our Cullman Christian community!
