Vision + Values

THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES + BELIEFS

of our christian school near atlanta.

 

North Cobb Christian has been a consistent and compassionate influence on my life. As a student at NCCS, I was surrounded by a community that taught me who Jesus is and what the Bible says is true.

I never knew how important that foundation of truth was until I went to college. Classes like Apologetics and Ethics taught me how to defend my faith in a community where biblical truth was clouded by worldly influences. Over my years here, the Lord has written the truth of scripture on my heart.GRACIE JOHNSON, NCCS Class of 2018

Statement of Faith

JESUS CHRIST

We believe 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.

biblical belonging

Four areas of intentionality for mission-aligned unity + belonging at NCCS

Teaching + Learning.

NCCS values curriculum, school trips, and learning expeditions that instill an uncompromising biblical worldview while celebrating the rich cultural threads that weave together to unite us as the body of Christ.

Student Experience.

NCCS values opportunities for students to gain an appreciation of diverse cultures while leaning into how God has uniquely created them to impact the world for Christ. Opportunities span the arts, athletics, academics, and student life, including Timothy Program peer mentoring, Global Impact Program, International Student Program, Spring Term, and more.

Employee Experience.

NCCS values recruiting and hiring educators and staff members from diverse backgrounds, engaging in staff development, and prioritizing Strategic Plan initiatives that support a sense of belonging for all employees. 

Family Engagement.

NCCS parents are encouraged to engage their family's cultural heritage through NCCS Family Heritage Walk (during Fall Festival), Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF), Grandparent's Day, hosting international students, being a classroom guest speaker, providing NCCS Academy internships and more. 

Christian community

North Cobb Christian School strives to intentionally reflect the biblical mandate to love our neighbor as ourselves, fostering a culture of hospitality and belonging grounded in biblical standards and accountability.

We strive to deepen our understanding, respect, and love for others, while assessing and improving our programs and experiences, resulting in a beautifully diverse, biblically unified community that is enriched and unhindered as we impact the world for Christ.  

 

My kids have found their people, the ones they knew will have their backs—teachers, as well as friends. They have developed relationships that help them grow as Christians and guide them to discover whom God has made them to be. This school has our family’s heart. They’ve been by our side at the hardest moments in life, and we are forever grateful.
