Calvary Chapel Christian School (CCCS) was founded in 1996 as a ministry outreach of Calvary Chapel Fredericktown, now Calvary Chapel Brownsville.  The school is not an independent entity.  It is recognized by all organizations with which it does business as a subsidiary of Calvary Chapel Brownsville.  It has no tax I.D.# of its own.  CCCS depends exclusively and entirely on the church for its physical and financial resources, and the school functions solely as an outreach ministry of the church.  The church and school have a shared philosophy and mission, and employees recognize the unified structure, function, and purpose of the church and school.
