As we look ahead to "Giving Tuesday" following Thanksgiving, we are asking for you to prayerfully consider giving towards our Phase 23 building addition. OCCS is excited to announce that Iowa State Bank is partnering with us for a $50,000 match towards our Phase 23 building project during the week of Nov 28-Dec 3. Whether you prefer one time gifts or pledging a certain amount over the next 3-5 years, consider this week for your financial support of OCCS knowing your gift will double thanks to this generous partnership within our community. If you have questions regarding the project or setting up donations, please contact Travis De Jong, Development Director (tdejong@occhristian.pvt.k12.ia.us) or stop in the school office.

Thank you!

On behalf of OCCS we would like to extend a tremendous THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to NICSTO this year. We hope that your donation is not only a benefit to you with your taxes, but please also know that your donation is benefit to the families here at OCCS.

Your blessing speaks into what we are all about here at OCCS (Covenantal and Missional). When we form a strong network of people and families that desire to see more families continue Christian Education for their kids, our community thrives!

Thank you deeply and sincerely!

OCCS Board, Staff, and Families
