Strategic Plan: Inspire 2028
Dear CCS Community,
The leadership of First Baptist Concord and Concord Christian School began the process of creating a strategic plan in order to take an in-depth look at where we have been, where we are now, and where we desire to go. Leadership has been working on this plan for twelve months using surveys, committee feedback, parent/faculty feedback, and board input. This strategic approach supports the school’s mission, vision, and core values while providing critical components for goal setting, budgeting, ongoing assessment, and decision-making that leads to continuous improvement.
Inspire 2028 presents an exciting journey for our school, containing six priorities written within. With our focus being on Kingdom Education, this outline includes essential components to aid in accomplishing our mission, vision, and core values where students are inspired to take risks and accomplish things greater than they ever imagined. Another goal is to offer our families a community where students understand they are uniquely made in God's image, possessing different talents and gifts which are all given to glorify God. Our ultimate goal is to create a healthy campus culture that equips students to flourish.
Flourishing offers a more expansive view of a school that desires to be excellent. We believe the concept of flourishing delineates Christian schools from other types of schools. The psalmist wrote, “May the Lord cause you to flourish, both you and your children.” (Psalm 115:14) The concept of flourishing goes beyond normal templates used to measure educational outcomes and looks to the future and the impact graduates have in their communities for Jesus. It is our prayer that meeting the six priorities below is a pathway to that goal.
The first five priorities highlight different paths that encourage students and faculty to expand their expectations of themselves for God's glory. The last priority focuses on current and future facility needs along with expansion plans. The plan is written so necessary revisions can be made yearly as data and situations dictate. Please take time to read the school’s priorities and the strategic plan outlined on the following pages.
Please reach out to me if you desire to speak with our leadership regarding how you might help CCS pursue Inspire 2028 with your time, talents, or resources.
Pressing on Together,
Donald E. Snider, Jr.
Superintendent of Schools
