Alumni Pastors Attend CCS Pastor Appreciation Luncheon
October is Pastor Appreciation Month, and we are grateful for our alumni pastors’ service to our community. On October 17, CCS hosted a Pastor Appreciation Luncheon. Alumni Pastors Cody Chaffin (‘13) and Evan Weppler (‘07) were in attendance among a total of 53 pastors from 32 area churches. Cody is the Student Discipleship Minister at Cy-Fair Christian Church, and Evan is the Elementary Children’s Pastor at Cypress Bible Church.
Cody, Evan and our guest pastors were greeted by the CCS students who invited them, and they enjoyed a short time visiting together. Following a quick photo with students, the pastors were ushered into the East Gym Lobby for a meal and a message from Executive Director Dr. Jeff Potts. It was a privilege to honor these two alumni and their fellow area pastors who have dedicated their lives to the service of the Lord through serving their churches and our community.
Note: We’d like to also like to recognize alumnus Sarah Mathewes (’06) who is the Children’s & Christian Education Pastor at Houston First Church of God.
Thank you, pastors, for all you do!
CyChristian Homecoming 2019
This year’s Warrior Alumni Homecoming event was held on Friday, October 11, and was the most well-attended in the history of our school. Former students and their families (105+) braved the cold to “come home to CCS!” We really enjoyed having these special Warriors back on campus – getting to visit with them, getting lots of hugs, meeting their friends and family members, serving them delicious food and awarding gift cards and prizes. Thanks to everyone who attended and thanks to our dedicated volunteers including alumni parent Shannon Moore who took our annual alumni photo. #OnceAWarriorAlwaysAWarrior!

Daniel Macune (’19) is a Cadet Fourth Class (or plebe) at West Point Military Academy working toward a major in either computer science, electrical engineering or systems engineering. He is in Company D2 (“Go, Dragons!”) and is on the company combatives team. Daniel says, “Cadet Basic Training, this past summer, was an interesting experience, to say the least, but I made many great friends and memories along the way. I enjoy the people in my company including Randy Hahn (the cousin of fellow CCS graduates Jacob Hall ’19 and Jason Hall ’19) and Charlie Mills(’19). We often go to church, dinner and the rock wall together. I can’t believe it’s only been four months. Go, Army! Beat, Navy!” Daniel is shown with his parents, Melissa and Chuck Macune.
