About us
Community Christian School (CCS) was founded on January 18, 1978, through a vote taken by the members of the First Evangelical Free Church (FEFC) of Fort Dodge. Classes began in the fall of 1978. A high school was added in 1980 and operational until 1991. The intent was to “parent and guide a Christian school” that would be nondenominational in its focus and teachings yet would stress those central truths of the Bible that unite Christians. Classes met for the first time in the fall of 1978.
The school remained housed in the basement of FEFC until the spring of 2013 when the school relocated to 2406 9-1/2 Avenue South, Fort Dodge, IA. At that time, the school also became an independent, non-denominational school no longer governed by the FEFC. In January of 2018, the school added a daycare center to CCS serving infants to school age children.
Community Christian School is more than a school, it’s a Christian community working together to serve God by guiding His children in their development of a personal relationship with His Son, Jesus Christ. Parents are able to share their primary responsibility in this area with our teachers and staff.

Our Statement of Faith
We Believe…
the Bible to be the inspired and only infallible authoritative Word of God
that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His Virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory
that for salvation of lost and sinful men, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential
in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life
in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation
in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ
