Decatur Christian School
BUILDING UP
DCS has been BUILDING UP warriors for Christ in the Decatur area for over 50 years. As we continue to deepen our roots, we are committed to being stewards of what God has already entrusted us with, and we are trusting His provision as we continue to plan for the future. This endeavor is more than a fundraiser. We view this as an opportunity to contribute to God's Kingdom through the education and growth of our students. We pray that through this campaign, our roots grow stronger and deeper, increasing the gospel footprint of Decatur Christian School!

OUR VISION FOR THE FUTURE:
Raising a Generation of Christ-Centered Leaders
At Decatur Christian School, we are dedicated to raising a generation of Christ-centered leaders who are grounded in faith, strong in character, and prepared to serve others. Through the Leader in Me program, students gain practical skills in responsibility, leadership, and confidence. Combined with biblical teaching, these habits build a foundation that strengthens faith, shapes character, and supports academic success—preparing graduates to bring value and blessing wherever God calls them.
OUR COMMITMENT
Our goal is to provide a strong Christian education that shapes students into leaders who bless others and live for Christ. We know a student’s life is influenced by home, church, activities, and school—and since we spend so much time with them each day, we see it as both an opportunity and a responsibility to prepare them for academic excellence and faithful service.
YOUR PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTS
The financial support we receive goes directly to the following:
