A Note From Our Principal
Thank you for your interest in Grace Christian Academy. We are always encouraged to see parents desire quality Christian education for their children. Please take a moment to browse through the website and see if GCA is the right place for you.
Grace Academy is a non-denominational Christian school functioning as a ministry of Fayette Bible Church. We offer preschool programs for three, four, and five year olds along with elementary (1st-6th), Junior High (7th-8th), and High School (9th - 12th) classes.
Grace Christian Academy is a member of the Georgia Association of Christian Schools (GACS), the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS), and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). Such affiliation greatly enhances the educational program by providing a wide variety of challenging academic and developmental opportunities. In addition, GCA is currently fully accredited by the Georgia Association of Christian Schools.
Each faculty member at GCA has a great desire to serve families. Each has a background in teaching and is dedicated to the academic, spiritual, and social enrichment of your child. Each has obtained certification through GACS and is required to maintain that level of professionalism. Most importantly, each has come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and has demonstrated a life of commitment to Him.
Our desire is to be a support for Christian families, as they desire to raise their children according to Scriptural principles. But our ultimate goal and our highest expectation is that we are producing students who are going to be a transforming influence on their world. We want to graduate students who are going to have an impact on this world for Jesus Christ.
I can think of nothing more fulfilling as a parent than the knowledge that my children are walking in the footsteps of Jesus. I desire for my own children to serve the Lord, not just now, but for the rest of their lives. As parents, we are training our children in the way they should go (Biblically speaking) so that when they are old they will not depart from the things they have been taught. I want my grown children to be active in a local church where God's Word is preached, and to be a testimony and witness for Christ to those they encounter. Nothing would satisfy me more than to see this come true.
Our goal at GRACE is to bring those same principles we feel as Christian parents into the school setting. Nothing would please our school more, as we track our students for five, ten or twenty years after graduation, than to see them actively serving the Lord in their local churches. And what if we could begin to raise up the next generation of full-time pastors, evangelists or missionaries? How does this sound to you? -- that in the next twenty years, GRACE had a hand in producing 10 full-time missionaries from our student body that were serving all over the world. Wouldn't that be awesome! It would be the essence of why we exist -- to transform our world for Jesus Christ.
In all, Grace provides a warm and friendly atmosphere for the nurturing of each child toward a solid spiritual and academic foundation. The links on the left offer more detailed information about the school and its programs. If we can be of further assistance, answer any questions, or if you would like an enrollment packet, please give us a call (770-461-0137) or stop by the school office. Thank you and we look forward to serving you in the future.
For His Glory,
Brian Fourman
