The Community Christian School is not church owned or governed but is self-ruling according to the following principles:

1. The Bible: Both the Old and New Testament are the inspired Word of God. In the Bible God reveals Himself and directs man in his relationship and activities. This revelation also guides His people in the education of their children.
   
   
2. The Trinity: God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
   
   
3. Jesus Christ: Jesus is true God and true man, having been conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He died on the cross, a sacrifice for our sins, according to the Scriptures. He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven where He is now our Advocate. Through Him there is renewal of our educational enterprise, because He is the Redeemer of, and the Light and the Way for our life in all its range and variety.
   
   
4. The Holy Spirit: He is true and co-eternal God with the Father and Son. He convicts men of sin, regenerates the believing sinner, guides, instructs and comforts. Through the work of the Spirit we are guided in the truth and recommitted to our original calling.
   
   
5. Creation: God, the Father, of nothing made the heaven and earth and their contents and in their education children must learn that the world and man's calling in it, can rightly be understood only in their relation to the Triune God who restores, governs and directs all things to His ultimate glory.
   
   
6. Sin: Man's sin, brought upon all mankind the curse of God, alienates him from his Creator, his neighbor, and the world, distorts his view of the meaning and purpose of life and also corrupts the education of children.
   
   
7. Schools: The purpose of Christian Schools is to educate children in a Christian environment with the goal of preparing the student to live in the world, not sheltering him from it. As image bearers of God their calling is to know God's Word and His creation, to consecrate the whole of life to Him to love their fellow man and to be stewards in their God-given vocations.
   
   
8. Parent/Guardian: The primary responsibility for education rests upon parent/guardian to whom children are entrusted by God. Christian parents/guardians should accept this obligation in view of the covenantal relationship which God established with believers and their children. Classroom education should be geared toward supplementing the family's educational role and Christian parent/guardian seek to implement their obligation through school association and boards which engage the services of Christian teachers in Christian Schools.
   
   
9. Teachers: Christian teachers both in obedience to God and in cooperation with parents have a unique responsibility, while educating the child, to develop the whole person in Christ.
   
   
10. Pupils: Christian schools must take into account the variety of abilities, needs and responsibilities of young persons. The talents and callings of young persons as God's image bearers and their defects as sinners require that learning goals, discipline and curricula be selected as will best prepare them to live as obedient Christians and only with constant attention to such instruction will education be truly Christian.
    
    
11. Community: God's covenant embraces not only parents and their children but also the whole Christian community to which they belong. Christian education contributes directly to the advancement of God's kingdom and it is the obligation not only of the parents but also of their Christian community to establish and maintain Christian schools, to pray for, work for, and give generously in their support.
    
    
12. Educational Freedom: Christian Schools, organized and administered in accordance with legal standards and provisions for day schools, should be duly recognized in society as free to function according to Christian principles.
