We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (John 10:30)
We believe that Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man. (Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14)
We believe that man was created in the image of God, that he sinned, and thereby incurred not only physical death but also that spiritual death, which is separation from God; and that all human beings are born with a sinful nature, and become sinners in thought, word, and deed. (Romans 3:23–24; Romans 5:12)
We believe that the Lord Jesus died for our sins, according to the Scriptures, as a substitutionary sacrifice; and that all who believe in Him are justified on the grounds of His shed blood. (1 Corinthians 15:3;
John 3:16–19)
We believe in the resurrection of the crucified body of our Lord, in His ascension into Heaven, and His present life there for us as High Priest and Advocate. (Hebrews 5:9–10; John 20:10–18)
We believe that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will personally return and set up His Kingdom wherein He will rule and reign in righteousness.
We believe that all who receive, by faith, the Lord Jesus Christ are born again of the Holy Spirit, and thereby become children of God. (I John 3:1)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and blessedness of the saved, and the retribution of the lost. (John 5:28–29)

EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS
We believe the entire process of education is seen as a means used by the Holy Spirit to bring the student into fellowship with God, to develop a Christian mind in him and to train him in godly living, so that he can fulfill God's total purpose for his life personally and vocationally. He must be taught the Bible and come to know God and His nature, learning to see all truth as God's truth. All learning should center around Christian values integrated with and interpreted by God's Word. In the focus of the Christian faith, CCS utilizes all of man's being as a study of God's revelation so that intellectual, social, emotional, and physical development is given balance, unity, and direction. (See 2017-2018 Parent Student Handbook for full Educational Philosophy)
EXPECTED STUDENT OUTCOMES
Our school’s purpose is to provide our students with a firm foundation of Truth, knowledge and virtue for a lifetime of service to God and man. By the time students graduate from CCS, we want to see growth in these key areas.
