In 1981, a committee was appointed by the Board of Campbellsville Christian
Church to discuss the possibility of starting a church school. After discussing the
matter, the committee agreed to experiment with a small group of children on a trial
basis to see if there was a need for a school. In the fall of 1982 the first class consisted
of 16 children, ages 3 to 5.
The committee met and reported to the board that the school was a success and
recommended that a church school be established. Olive Crabtree was appointed
director of the school. The three-year-olds were separated from the others and they
were called the Glow Worms. They met each Thursday morning from 9:00 to 11:00.
The Campbellsville Christian Church Kindergarten, made up of four and five-year-olds,
held classes from 8:30 to 11:30, Monday through Thursday mornings. The school
closed in May with a program presented in the sanctuary of the church. A Kindergarten
Board was appointed separate from the church board to attend to the affairs of the
school.
When the school opened in the fall of 1984 the four-year-olds were separated
from the five-year-olds. They continued to have classes four days a week. The
kindergarten class was in session five days a week, 8:30 to 11:30. The first
kindergarten class of 15 children graduated in May, 1985 with graduation exercises and
a program at the church. Enrollment increased rapidly and by fall of 1986 more
classes were added. There were two classes of three-year-olds, two classes of fouryear-olds, and one kindergarten class.
Upon Mrs. Crabtrees resignation in 1990, Regina Cox was hired as director. By
this time the enrollment of the entire school had exceeded 100, with two kindergarten
classes, two four-year-old classes, and two Glow Worm classes.
Upon Regina Coxs resignation in 2000, Brenda Parrish took over the position of
director. In 2002 the name of the school was changed to Campbellsville Christian
Church Center for Education (CCCCFE), with a Preschool and Primary division.

The Campbellsville Christian Church Center for Education is a service institution striving to serve
both the children and adults of this community. The curriculum is based on the needs and abilities of the
whole child, directed toward good and useful citizenship in a democracy.
We are not only concerned with the intellectual development of the child, but with his social,
physical, and emotional welfare and progress in order that he may develop his individual talents and
interests, and above all, his moral and spiritual development that he may live in harmony with God and
man.
We are concerned with the happiness, success, and welfare of the children, their literacy, their
behavior, their health and their recreation.
WE BELIEVE
1. That the school should serve the child. Accordingly, it should create an enjoyable learning
atmosphere that will enable the child to obtain a mastery of the tools and techniques of learning. The
school should stimulate and guide the child in setting desirable aims and objectives for himself so that he
may develop to the extent of his capacity and interests. It should challenge every child to achieve
according to his ability.
2. That the school should serve the community by seeking outlets through which the children may
participate in worthwhile community activities. The school should take advantage of all the opportunities
available to make use of the experiences, talents, and activities of community specialists.
3. That the school should serve our nation. Our children will become the world of tomorrow. Our
democracy is dependent largely upon what happens in the schools of today.
4. That there should be a desirable informative communication among the children, parents, and
teachers.
