- Christ Centered Living – At Grace Christian it is our goal to orient ourselves as a ministry, a business, administrators and faculty around the Gospel of Jesus Christ. At our core, we not only promote but also seek to influence this same “Jesus-Centered” lifestyle among our students and their families. In this way we uphold God’s Word in 1 John 2:6 when we are told, “whoever says he abides in Him ought to walk in the same way in which He walked.”
- Truth – Grace Christian believes without apology in the inerrancy of the Word of God. Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 3:16-17 that, “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” Thus, it is among our core values to seek and search after the truth of God through His word.
- Fellowship – Also among our core values at Grace Christian is fellowship of the believers. We believe that it is integral to the development of the Christian life, the family, and our students to be active and at work in a local church as the writer of Hebrews tells us in Hebrews 10:24-25, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” It is also important to the development of our school community that we fellowship with one another in the many outlets throughout the school year.
- Family – At Grace Christian, we believe each of our members is a part of our family, and as such, we seek to empower the family. We believe that Godly Christian education and instruction begins at home. Scripture tells us in Deuteronomy 6:5-7, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” We seek to instill these truths through instruction, reproof, and correction, but we believe it is also the duty of the family to fully instill these truths. Thus, we empower the family to lead their children in a Godly manner.
- Excellence – Scripture tells us in Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” At Grace Christian we believe very strongly in going above and beyond the call of duty. We believe that everyone has the ability to give their all and we expect that of our students and families, knowing that we serve alongside them giving them our all because we do everything we do to the glory and honor of God.
- Service – At Grace Christian, we teach salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone. However, along with faith comes works. Missional service is among the things that Christ himself called the church to be active and at work in. Thus, it is among our core values to adhere to the words in James 2:18, “But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” We believe to display our faith is to be actional about it, helping those in need, ministering to the believers, edifying the kingdom, and leading through service as Christ Himself did. We believe that as a school community we lead best from service to one another.
- Responsibility – Personal responsibility is integral to a person. On it rests integrity, honesty, and ethic. Galatians 6:5 tells us, “For each will have to bear his own load.” Christ gave us fellowship that we may help and support one another, but at the end of it all, we are responsible for our own actions or inactions. At Grace Christian Academy, personal responsibility is among those values that we ardently seek to instill in our students. It is our belief that a deep personal responsibility will serve our students endlessly in this life.
