HOW YOUR GIVING HELPED

Grants to CCS

CES issued grants to The Cornerstone Christian School in order to help cover CCS's extraordinary expenses (such as a computer lab upgrade, building improvements, student enrichment, teacher support, etc.). Each grant played a role in enhancing the educational experience of CCS's students, faculty, staff, and administrators, which had a ripple effect toward positively impacting local communities, as well as our state, nation, and world.

TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE CAMPAIGN

Strategic Plan Implementation

On November 7, 2023, the school board of The Cornerstone Christian School (CCS) approved the school's 2023-2028 Technology Strategic Plan. The plan was later updated, with the school board adopting on April 28, 2026, the 2026-2031 Technology Strategic Plan. The initial plan and its updated version have been critical toward helping the school's students, faculty, and staff to keep up with advancements in our technology-driven world.


The initial strategic plan included five phases, with a projected cost of $68,000+. As the school's annual budget had no wiggle room to bring this plan to reality, the school board approved the plan in faith that God would provide the funds.


On January 19, 2024, CES presented CCS with an $8,000 grant to launch the first phase of the plan's execution.


On April 3, 2025, CES presented CCS with a $15,500 grant to upgrade the firewall and security, network switch, and Windows server OS.


On May 24, 2026, CES presented CCS with a $1,500 technology upgrade grant.
