Foundational Documents
These Foundational Documents are part of the Constitution of Central Christian School. These core statements speak to the jointly held beliefs of our Corporation, which is representative of a variety of congregations.
Central Christian School operates under the governance of a Corporation made up of Affiliated Churches. Central is not governed by Mennonite Church USA. However, Central Christian School uses the 1995 Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective as the faith statement for the school. The date, 1995, indicates that even if Mennonite Church USA would revise their Confession of Faith, that will not affect Central's continued use of the 1995 document. Each of the 24 articles of the 1995 Confession of Faith in a Mennonite Perspective includes the scripture references that are the basis for each belief.
