F.A.C.E. - Families Advancing Christian Education

A Ministry of Community Christian School

FAMILIES

FACE is a very active ministry arm of the CCS Board of Directors. Moms, dads, grandparents, alumnus and friends, all join together to make CCS a wonderful place to learn and grow. CCS is a parent-sponsored school and receives its direction from an elected board of directors who govern under the articles written in the CCS Constitution.

ADVANCING

Fund raising is an essential part of lift in the "Not for Profit" sector. CCS is designated a 501 (c) (3), by the United States Federal Government. Therefore, fundraising is a very important aspect of FACE. Gifts of classroom supplies, teacher appreciation, and many other request for "extra's" are found on the FACE agenda and fund raising calendar.

CHRISTIAN

Faith is Jesus Christ sets the CCS school experience apart from other educational experiences. Well-grounded Christian teachers and staff members encourage and guide students to form a lasting relationship with Jesus Christ. FACE assists the school to accomplish these goals by providing funding and coordination for opportunities inside and outside of the classroom.

EDUCATION

Educating students for this life and the next is the end goal of the CCS educational experience. Training students to evaluate, understand, and apply the sixty-six (66) books of the inerrant Holy Scriptures, CCS students develop a Christian world view, while discerning absolute truth in all academic pursuits and in life.
