Discipleship

Teaching to the heart

Discipleship: learning to be more and more like Jesus.

Discipleship takes many forms at CCS. As part of our mission, we are building up servant leaders that will go out and impact their world for Christ.

Discipleship doesn't happen on accident. It's the intentional work of our faculty, staff, families, and church partnerships that speak and model Christ to all our students. This begins in preschool and continues beyond graduation, as we see alumni through sports, events, volunteer opportunities, and even returning to us as parents and staff!

Upper School Retreat

CCS's annual Upper School Retreat takes place at Stony Glen in Madison, Ohio. For three days and two nights, students are immersed in God's creation and fellowship, and are encouraged to reflect on and deepen their relationship with Christ.

For some students, this time of retreat helps them gain clarity on their own personal walk with the Lord. For others, it's an opportunity to build community and connections with other students and staff. Everyone walks away changed, renewed in a desire to honor and glorify God with their lives.
