Founded in 1999, Columbia County Christian School provides a faith-based education and academic excellence for students in grades K-12. As a private, non-denominational Christian school, we integrate all knowledge with a biblically based view of God, developing students who will serve God and impact the communities in which they live.
At Columbia County Christian School, we focus on teaching the whole child to impact the whole world, while assisting parents in training their children in the way of the Lord.
“A student is not above his teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like his teacher.” — Luke 6:40
Our Mission:
It is our mission to teach the whole child to impact the whole world. That is why our approach to academics is so deeply entwined with a biblical worldview. Columbia County Christian School exists to bring glory to God through the strengthening of the minds and hearts of our students. Through the guiding of the Holy Spirit, Paul wrote that we would be able to know the will of God when we had renewed our minds (Romans 12:2). It is our desire to be a key tool in the hands of the Spirit as He renews the minds of every child in our care.
Academics:
Academics are a top priority at CCCS. It is our goal that every student would be appropriately challenged and stretched as they study the basic disciplines. Our qualified Christian teachers embrace unique strategies and methods to cater to the different strengths and weaknesses of our students, while building a foundation steeped in the truths of God's Word and the value of each person as a child of God.
Core Values:
We affirm Christ-likeness, as revealed in the Bible, to be the hallmark of all Christians. Therefore, we are committed to teaching our students how to be like Christ and expect all connected with CCCS to strive to live and grow in Christ-likeness.
We affirm that God's Word is our authority in all matters of faith, values and practice. Therefore, we will submit to its direction in all aspects of life at CCCS.
We affirm the local church's role in determining matters of faith in an individual's life. Therefore, we will seek to build loving relationships with local churches and partner with them to bring our children up in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ, allowing for differences in theological non-essentials but unity in the essentials as outlined in our Statement of Faith.
We affirm that God holds parents responsible for their child's upbringing. Therefore, we purpose to support and assist the parents in their child's upbringing by providing quality Christian education and discipline.
We affirm that Christians are to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Therefore, we purpose to foster in our students this passion for God and service to Him.
We affirm that the Bible is the revelation of truth and an accurate, undistorted worldview. Therefore, students will be taught to process information and think critically in the context of a biblical Christian worldview.
We affirm God's desire for each person to achieve his or her fullest potential in Him. Therefore, we will maintain academic excellence to maximize each student's potential
Theological Differences: The founding of this school is based on the premise that a Christian education can be provided that crosses denominational lines without compromising the Word of God. CCCS will seek leaders who can affirm our Statement of Faith and who will not promote theological positions which may tend to be exclusive or divisive.
