Central Christian School Fort Wayne is a 501c3 private school and ministry.

Central Christian School wisely stewards of every tuition dollar raised and limits fundraisers to only those necessary. Our biggest fundraiser is our Spring Auction that takes place in March. We are always looking for community involvement and donations to make this event successful.

There are so many ways to be involved at Central Christian School by volunteering! Every person planning on volunteering with the students must fill out a volunteer form and have a background check.
