Build Today | Plan for Tomorrow

Des Moines Christian School is committed to pursuing both academic excellence and spiritual formation for our students. The pursuit is based on the foundation of partnering with families who support our mission of equipping minds and nurturing hearts so students can impact the world for Christ.

Our Vision

The Build Today I Plan for Tomorrow campaign for Des Moines Christian School maintains a heavy focus on our mission and the student experience today, while providing for future generations.

Today begins now with one new high school building. This building will serve as the foundation for a high school campus and is the beginning of our vision for Tomorrow—a campus that will one day include athletic fields, community gathering spaces, and additional innovative learning environments. Construction has begun and we plan to welcome students to the new high school in the fall of 2027.

AJ and Lindsay Morris

DMC Parents

We are so grateful for the people and families that came before us and believed in making an impact in our children’ s education without even knowing who they would be. Their vision for furthering the kingdom through Christian education has blessed our family and we feel it is our responsibility and joy to continue that mission. We feel that DMC’s collective investment in equipping minds and nurturing hearts brings unity and connection to our community.

Carolyn and Scott Oakes

DMC Grandparents

When our granddaughter Lucy started in the DMC early education program last year, I enjoyed telling her that not only would her teachers love her, but they also love Jesus. It is reassuring to know that our grandchildren will be taught with excellence and a biblical worldview. I am so thankful that DMC is training students, now including our granddaughter Lucy, to view the world through the lens of scripture in a Christ-centered community.

Mondale and Lu Smith

DMC Parents

We value the way DMC shares Kingdom principles with the students, and giving is one of the many ways to share God's love with others. We believe in DMC's mission and commitment to educational excellence infused with the Word of God, and we desire to see DMC grow to benefit as many people as possible.

DMC Alumna

As a Des Moines Christian graduate, I can confidently say that my years at DMC set the standards I still operate under today, shaping me in a community that balanced encouragement with challenge. I have so many memories from the Urbandale campus, and it’s exciting to see the next generation creating their own in both the same spaces and new ones. It has been an incredible blessing to experience the momentum at DMC, and I am excited to watch it continue to build!

Amy Thacker

DMC Parent and Employee

As a parent, DMC always felt like a blessing to our family — and now, as a staff member, it’s an even greater joy. DMC has always felt like home. I love being on campus daily, surrounded by amazing students and staff in a Christ-centered atmosphere. For our family, investing in Christian education is one of the greatest gifts we can give our kids — it builds a strong, lifelong foundation rooted in faith and truth that will guide them for years to come.

DMC Alumna and Kindergarten Teacher

I am so grateful for the community that surrounds DMCS. Our donors are not just financial supporters; they are partners in our mission. Their belief in our mission fosters a shared purpose among students, parents, faculty, and alumni. This collective effort creates an environment where students can thrive academically and spiritually.
