The only Christian PreK-12th grade in Bartholomew County.
Established in 1976, Columbus Christian School is an inter-denominational private school - offering superior Christian education to children from three years of age through the twelfth grade. It is our desire to come alongside parents through Christ-centered academics, athletic excellence and artistic worship specifically gifted each child and to help grow their children's God-given gifts. Columbus Christian School accomplishes that through our small class sizes and family environment. We invite you to see how we strive to Educate with a Higher Purpose.
“Providing an “Education with a Higher Purpose” means we strive to establish a school where each student is taught that God is the central source of knowledge, skills and aptitude. Faith is at the heart of all CCS academics, athletics and social atmosphere. This sets students on a path to live Christ-centered, disciplined lives with a passion for learning, a heart for service and a boldness to impact the world for Christ.”

COLUMBUS CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
Statement of Faith
Columbus Christian School is an interdenominational school and students attend many churches in Bartholomew and surrounding counties. CCS holds these truths to be foundational to its education.
❖ We believe that all scripture is the inspired Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16)
❖ We believe God created the Heavens and the Earth. (Genesis 1:1)
❖ Our creed is Jesus Christ. We accept His Word, as stated in the New Testament, as our rule of faith and practice. Nothing can be added to or nothing can be taken from it. (John 1:1; Matthew 16:16, 18; Revelation 22: 18-19)
❖ We believe that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God, our perfect example, who was crucified and rose on the third day to provide the forgiveness for our sins. (Matthew 1:23; I Corinthians 15:4)
❖ We believe that Christ established His Kingdom, the Church, on the Day of Pentecost after His resurrection. (Acts 2)
❖ We believe that Christ’s Church is made up of all those who:
Have faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of the God. (Romans 1:16)
Repent of their sins, which means a turning away from sin and walking
in righteousness. (Luke 13:3; Acts 2:38)
Confess this faith and repentance with their mouths and by their lives.
(Romans 10:9-10)
Are immersed into Christ for the remission of their sins. (We do not
believe infant baptizing is necessary.) (Romans 6:4)
Continue to follow Christ’s teachings and are faithful to His commands.
(Romans 12:10-11)
❖ We believe in observing the Lord’s Supper (communion) on the first day of the week, Sunday, the Lord’s Day. (Luke 22:19; Acts 20:7; I Corinthians 11:28)
❖ We believe in the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Godhead, our Comforter, and the Spirit of Truth. (Matthew 28:19)
❖ We believe in the Priesthood of all believers. Every Christian must support the local church by his sacrificial giving and by his Godly example, both in the home, in the community, and his active involvement in the Lord’s church. (Acts 20:35; I Corinthians 16:2)
❖ We believe in the existence of Satan, the father of all lies, the prince of this world, the chief of the fallen angels. We recognize his power and influence, but also know that he has lost and will be cast into Hell. (Revelation 20:10)
❖ We believe in the Second Coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe there will be a great judgment, a separating of the sheep from the goats, an eternal Heaven and Hell. (Revelation 22:12-13; Matthew 25:32-34)
The Word of God has been our foundation and guide for over 40 years - and now, we invite your family to partner with us in training your children to be Christ-centered in all areas of life.
“CCS is a wonderful reflection of God’s love. The main focus is excellent Christ-centered instruction and love for one another in all that we do and say. There are no words to express the love of God’s people at Columbus Christian.”
