Mission Statement:  Grace Community School is an interdenominational community school that educates children through a Christian philosophy of education. GCS recognizes that God through his Word, the Bible, is the absolute authority and basis for all truth. Under that authority we desire to work with the local church, the evangelical community and others who support our basic mission. With the Christian community we seek to assist Christian families in their Biblical responsibility to train their children to become Christ-like and to fulfill God’s purpose for their lives in the home, church and society. Since we are an open enrollment school according to school policies, we welcome families desiring entrance to GCS who are not attending church or do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We invite them to GCS as an extended family member. It is our desire to introduce the student and their family to the Bible.

Mission Statement: I am reminded daily of Genesis 1:1 as I look out my window, see my husband and my daughter, and when I share any teaching with my students. God has made it all for us to partake. It is a privilege to be able to lead and mold young minds, and it would be incomplete without imparting the
knowledge of the Creator of it all to the children we teach. Through a daily routine with God in the center, high expectations, personal accountability, a loving environment with fair rules, and mutual respect, children can learn Christian character and qualities for the college and work world which will perpetuate a love of Christ to future generations.
