Ribbon Cutting

Look what THE LORD has done!

On Wednesday, July 30th CCS celebrated an incredible milestone with a Ribbon Cutting at the Beech Avenue campus. This event highlighted a significant step in our growth and continued mission to provide a Christ-centered education opportunity for families in the area.

What began as 68 students in 2007 has now grown to over 325 students enrolled for the fall semester. We are rejoicing in the blessings that God has provided over the years and we are so excited to see what He has in store for the future!

Campus Clean Up Day

On Saturday, August 2nd (....technically not July, but too good to not mention) parents, students, and staff worked on several campus projects to prepare the Beech Avenue campus for the beginning of school. Every space had someone working on a much needed task! A lot was accomplished! We still have more to do, but this day was such a blessing to get a large part of it finished.

***We will post projects in the weekly newsletter, The ROAR, this year as they arrise.***
