History of CCS

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.

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.
