What a privilege it is to welcome each family to Calvary Christian School. Homeschooling is a wonderfully challenging calling, and we commend each of you for making this decision.
History is all about His Story. We feel that the history of CCS is another chapter in His Story. In 2000, Brother Jimmy King and Tammy Fournier were convicted about the need for Calvary Baptist Church to establish a home school cover. And the prayer began. Connie Reaves (a member of Calvary Baptist and former CCS parent) was led to begin homeschooling. The prayers increased. Within the next two years, Shea Randolph and Beverly Eastis (both of whom had been homeschooling for several years) became members of Calvary Baptist Church. And the vision grew and prayers continued. In May of 2002, Calvary Christian School became a reality with a unanimous approval by the membership of the church.
Our prayers had been answered. We had our school. We had our key leadership team, but we had nothing else. For the next four exhausting months, our five person prayer/leadership team was called into action. We spent our days and nights contacting other directors, typing forms, discussing policies, traveling to other cover schools, calling Home School Legal Defense, and corresponding with various school boards. And God blessed.
Our first year, we had 10 families enrolled in CCS. The 2003-04 school year began with an increase to 20 families. By our eighth year, we have grown to having over 100 families. And our prayers continue. And God continues to bless.
As our school’s name implies, we pray that each of you will truly bring Calvary to your home by training and teaching your children about the perfect plan that God has for each of us through Christ’s death and resurrection.
