Believing that children are a gift from God to parents, Grace Christian School exists to assist Christian parents from Bible-believing churches as they prepare children to live successful, Christ-centered lives through quality spiritual and academic programs.

Believing that all educational experience is religious in nature, simply because that experience must deal with the ultimate values and beliefs of the culture in which it exists and the controlling body under which it operates, the following values and beliefs are set forth as the basis for building the educational program of Grace Christian School: The Person of God, The Priority of God’s Word, and The Properties of the Child. (need text here relating to these three P’s)

Grace Christian School opened its doors as a ministry of Grace Gospel Church in the fall of 1978 under the direction of Pastor Mel Efaw. At that time, classes were offered in grades K-4 through 3. The program continued to grow and expand, and in 1985, GCS offered a full program, K-4 through 12th grade. In 2008, our school expanded to include a 3-year old Preschool program. Today, over 30 years later, over 500 young men and women call Grace Christian School their alma mater.
