CBCS began with four teachers and 68 students. At the time, it was our desire to have a school that would reinforce the values of Christianity and patriotism the children were learning in their homes and churches. Through the years, our goal has remained the same: to work together with parents and pastors to rear godly young people.
CBCS has always been a ministry of Community Baptist Church. It joined The American Association of Christian Schools (AACS) in November of 1977 and is also a member of the Indiana Association of Christian Schools (IACS). Community Baptist teachers are certified by the AACS, and in February 2013 CBCS gained accreditation from the AACS.
Following the first year, enrollment quickly grew. A new grade was added each successive year, as was planned, until the school offered a complete program through the 12th grade. The first seniors graduated in 1982.
Community Baptist Church undertook a major building campaign that included the addition of a new church auditorium, several classrooms for the school, a nursery/preschool wing, and a teacher's lounge. The new building tied together the existing two buildings for the beautiful layout that we have today.
CBCS expanded the preschool program from a half day to full day option.​
