[edit] About MCS

Classes are available for grades Kindergarten to 12th. With a 1 to 7 ratio of Teacher to students, the students are able to develop godly relationships with their teachers.
[edit] History
The vision was to equip young men and women for service to God. That vision has not changed, even today. Massillon Baptist Temple prayed for an entire year about what they could do about the need for a high quality Christian education. As an answer to many prayers, MCS was founded in 1973 by Dr. Bruce D. Cummons (1924-2004) and the Massillon Baptist Temple. Since the doors of Massillon Christian School have opened, they have graduated over 500 students.
[edit] Articles of Faith
- We believe that the whole Bible from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21 is the verbally inspired and infallible Word of God.
- We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God—an Infinite, Intelligent Spirit; the Maker and Supreme Ruler of Heaven and earth, who is inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love.
- We believe that in the unity of the Godhead there are three Persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—equal in every Divine perfection, and executing distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.
- We believe Jesus Christ was born of Mary, the Virgin, and is the Son of God and God the Son.
- We believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the Scripture, the Just for the unjust that He might bring us to God, that men are justified by faith alone.
- We believe that Jesus Christ rose from the grave on the third day according to the Scriptures.
- We believe that He, only, is the great High Priest, and we need not the intercession of any man, but that Christ ever liveth to make intercession for us.
- We believe that Jesus Christ will come again in Person, bodily and visibly, to establish His kingdom on the earth.
- We believe that in order to be saved, the soul must be born again: “Ye must be born again.” (John 3:7). Salvation is by grace and the only conditions are repentance and faith.
