Spiritual Theme: Stand Firm: Put on the Full Armor of God

August/September Theme Song: The Battle Belongs to the Lord CH#732

August/September Theme Verse: Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Kickoff Chapel:

The OCCS & TRIP office will be closed Thursday from 12:45am-3:20pm for the kickoff chapel.

Grain Donation:

We have a grain account at Farmer's Coop grain elevators, (Account # is 105214). We also have an account at Ag State elevators (Account #111431). If you would like to donate to OCCS this fall harvest, just tell them it is for Orange City Christian School. 

Moms In Prayer:

Moms In Prayer will be meeting at OCCS every Monday from 8:30-9:30 in the Art Room. The Moms in Prayer ministry begins with Moms coming together to pray for their children and their school, impacting them for Christ. Last year, we had between 3-6 moms meet faithfully each week and were blessed to pray scripture over our individual children, school community, teachers, staff, and students. It is a vital ministry that impacts our entire school community! If you are unfamiliar with Moms in Prayer or have questions, please reach out to Brittany Foreman at dan_brittanyforeman@yahoo.com or text 515-720-2175 for more information. We look forward to having you join us!

Silage Piles:

We encourage all families to join us in helping with the silage piles—it's a fantastic way to build community, and the funds raised benefit the entire school.


ALL families who help with the silage piles, either by working at the piles or providing supplies, will be eligible to apply for assistance, regardless of whether you received an ESA. The application will be available after the silage pile season ends.

Thank you! We couldn’t do this without our dedicated volunteers!


All income received from the Silage piles will be split as follows: 70% will go toward the building fund and our new addition, while 30% will be allocated for participating families to use for Tuition or Food Service. Participation in the silage piles will also be one of the factors considered for those applying for tuition assistance each year.
