About Us

Our Story

Community Christian School was founded in 1984 by Elaine Thomason. Ms. Elaine saw the need for Christian education in Cherokee County when she began the school. Her goal was to provide an affordable education centered around Christ. The school has seen a lot of growth throughout its 40 years.

We opened a newly constructed building which houses grades K-5th beginning with the 2020-21 school year. After Ms. Elaine’s passing in 2019, the administration and staff at CCS continues to uphold her legacy in teaching the next generation about Christ.

Enrolling your child at CCS will provide benefits that will last a lifetime and extend into future generations of your family. CCS is dedicated to assisting Christian parents as they raise their children “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.”

  • 1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative, inerrant Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16: 2 Peter 1:21;

    John 10:30).

    2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is omnipotent; that is, He

    can do all things. He is omnipresent; that is, He is present to all creation and has under His immediate authority all things which

    are in Heaven, in the earth, and under the earth. He is omniscient; that is, He knows all things. He readily exercises His power

    which is present everywhere, and to Him, there is nothing that is impossible or unknown, that is, He knows what has been from

    eternity, what now takes place everywhere, and what will be to all eternity (Genesis 1:1; Matthew 28:19; John 10:30).

    3. We believe in the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His vicarious and atoning death through His shed

    blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory (Isaiah

    7:14; Matthew 1:23; Mark 16:19; Luke 1:35; John 2:11, 10:33, 11:25; Acts 1:11; I Corinthians 15:3-4; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 2:9,

    4:15, 7:26; Revelation 19:11).

    4. We believe in the absolute necessity of regeneration by the Holy Spirit for salvation because of the exceeding sinfulness of human

    nature; men are justified by the shed blood of Christ; and we are saved by God’s grace through faith alone (John 3:16-21, 5:24;

    Romans 3:23, 5:8-9; Ephesians 2:8-10, Titus 3:5).

    5. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of life, and the lost to the

    resurrection of damnation (John 5:28-29).

    6. We believe in the spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 8:9; I Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:26-28).

    7. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life

    (Romans 8:13-14; I Corinthians 3:16, 6:19-20; Ephesians 4:30, 5:18).

    8. We believe that all human life is sacred and created by God in His image. Human life is of inestimable worth in all its dimensions,

    including pre-born babies, the aged, the physically or mentally challenged, and every other stage or condition from conception

    through natural death. We are therefore called to defend, protect, and value all human life. (Job 12:10; Psalm 139; Isaiah 49:5;

    Jeremiah 1:5; Ephesians 2:10.).

    9. We believe that every believer should strive to walk by the Spirit and engage in a lifestyle that stimulates a Christ-centered

    maturation in their lives as well as the lives of those around them. Christians should strive to both identify and flee from influences

    and practices which hinder an individual from maturing in their relationship with Christ. The Bible warns that immorality of any

    type, including but not limited to sexual immorality in any form, idolatry, theft, greed, and drunkenness may disqualify us from

    inheriting the kingdom of God. Moreover, all believers are to engage in gospel conversations, to live Christ-honoring lives, and to

    work continuously towards the spread of the gospel to all nations (Matthew 5:16, 28:19-20; Mark 16:15; John 20:21; Acts 1:8;

    Romans 6:1-14, 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 6:9-20; 2 Corinthians 5:20, 6:14-7:1; Galatians 5:16-25; Colossians 3:1-17; James 4:4;

    1 John 2:15-17).
