History
Grace Community Church opened a Preschool in 1967 called Grace Community Children’s Center. Many of the parents of the preschoolers made inquiries about beginning an elementary school to continue their children’s Christian education.
In 1975, Grace Community Church met that challenge by starting a grade school, (Grace Community Christian School) which has now grown into a K-8 academic school with approximately 300 students including Preschool students.
Christian Life Perspective
GCS recognizes God as the creator of all things, and Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of all who acknowledge Him as Lord.
Our general purposes are:
1. To present to our students the truth about God, about life and living, about our world and everything in it, about the nature of man and how to love all people through Christ.
2. To present the Word of God as the authoritative source upon which to build a life that has purpose and meaning.
3. To uphold the sanctity of our homes and the sacredness of our churches.
4. To inspire in students a system of values consistent with the Word of God.
5. To prepare our students with the basic tools of learning in preparation to be God’s representatives in society.
6. To instill in students a strong love for our country.
We believe that each student is uniquely created by God as a physical, intellectual, social, and spiritual being, and is endowed with particular talents.
