What kind of a community do you want for your family? As you consider the educational options available today, this becomes an important question. It is important because your choice will have a direct impact not only on your family, but on your community as well.

Too many parents today aren’t considering the broader ramifications of their children’s education. They think education “just happens” in their children’s lives, and allow others to make critical decisions for them. In one sense they are correct. Children ARE always learning. In that respect they are like little sponges, absorbing everything they see and hear. But what kind of education are they “just happening” to receive? What kind of an example is modeled before their impressionable eyes? What influences are forming and shaping the way they view the world?

As Christian parents these questions are essential as we seek to raise our children as unto the Lord, guarding their hearts from the moral decline all around them. However, we cannot be satisfied with the notion of simply sheltering our little ones. Even if it were possible, insulating ourselves from the world is not the answer. Instead, we need to be raising a generation of Christian leaders who will be prepared to influence their communities with the light of the Gospel. As Paul said, “that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15).

However, a generation of Christian leaders who will have that kind of impact on the world will not “just happen.” If it happens at all, it will be as a result of parents, like you, who take an active role in their children's education.

At CCS we are dedicated to “Education by Discipleship.” We are committed not only to providing a strong academic environment in which your children can learn and grow, but also to co-laboring with parents as they seek to raise their children to be disciples of Jesus Christ. Our highest priority will be preparing these young people to engage the world around them with the truth of the Gospel, in whatever field or profession they pursue. To borrow missionary William Carey's famous motto, our hope is that each child will be, “attempting great things for God; expecting great things from God.”

I hope you will prayerfully consider CCS for your children. More importantly, I pray that as a fellowship we will continue to work together, under God’s direction, to train up the next generation of Christian leaders our communities so desperately need.
