🎒🙏 It All Begins With Prayer 🙏🎒
At Calumet Christian School, everything begins with Christ, and this school year is no exception. We have been covering the 2025–2026 school year in prayer for months, and now we invite you to join us.
Philippians 4:6 reminds us, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
Whether you're a new, current, or former Patriot, please join us in praying over this year. We are expecting God to do great things, but we know that it begins with surrendered hearts seeking Him in prayer.
Here are a few ways you can pray with us:
✨ A God-Honoring School Culture
At Calumet Christian School, we strive to shape more than strong minds. We are building Christlike character and a community grounded in Biblical truth. Please pray that our school culture will reflect the fruits of the Spirit: “love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22–23). Pray that kindness, humility, integrity, and truth define who we are within our walls and beyond.
🛡️ Health and Safety
We trust the Lord to protect our students, staff, and families in every area of life. Psalm 121:7 says, “The Lord will keep you from all harm. He will watch over your life.” Pray for physical health, emotional wellness, and safety throughout the year. And yes, feel free to lift up our ice pack supply in prayer too. They tend to be our most-requested remedy!
🏡 New Families
We are excited to welcome many new families into the CCS community. Pray that they feel peace in the transition, find deep friendships, and feel a sense of belonging in their new school home. More than anything, pray that each student and parent grows closer to Christ during their time here. “Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.” (Romans 15:7)
👩🏾🏫👨🏼🏫 New Teachers
God has faithfully provided new teachers for the year ahead. Pray that they feel supported, equipped, and welcomed into the CCS family. Ask God to give them wisdom, strong relationships with students, and boldness to teach with excellence and a Biblical worldview. “And I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding.” (Jeremiah 3:15)
🍎 Our Amazing Staff
Every member of the CCS team matters. From the cleaning crew and office staff to aides, teachers, and administrators, each one is part of the mission. Pray for rest as they finish summer, vision for the year ahead, and unity as they serve together. “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)
📚 Academic Growth
Learning brings both accomplishments and challenges. Pray that our students would grow in perseverance, wisdom, and confidence. “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men.” (Colossians 3:23) May this be a year of growth, mastery, and renewed joy in learning.
🎶 Chapel and Spiritual Formation
Chapel is more than a routine. It is a weekly time for students to worship, hear the Word of God, and experience His presence. Pray that the truth takes root in their hearts, that they hear God’s voice clearly, and that they respond in faith. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” (John 10:27) We are praying for salvation, deep spiritual growth, and authentic moments with the Lord.
🤝 Friendships and Community
Friendships formed at school can last a lifetime. Pray that new relationships are built on kindness, honesty, and shared faith, and that existing friendships are strengthened. “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
📣 Patriot Family, let us stand together in prayer.
At Calumet Christian School, we are not just preparing students for college or careers. We are preparing them to follow Christ in every area of life. That preparation begins with prayer.

It is with a heavy heart that we share the passing of Mrs. Linda Baessler with the Calumet Christian School family. Mrs. Baessler was a dedicated member of both the Calumet Baptist and Calumet Christian Schools. She inspired countless students to embrace the beauty of mathematics and guided many to achieve success in a subject they once found daunting. Her unwavering commitment to Calumet Christian was matched only by her deep love for her family and her faith. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. Baessler for her remarkable contributions to CCS. May her legacy continue to inspire us all.

Having played piano since the age of 5 and with nearly 50 years of experience as an organist and pianist, Mrs. Coney brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our school community.
