Our goal is to highlight all sports programs, not only for their athletic aspect, but more importantly for the commitment you each have to developing young men and women in the image of Christ. The interaction between coach and athlete, between teammates, is one of the key items that sets GFCS apart from all schools in the area Social media can be an amazing tool if we work together to tell the story of the student athletes at Faith
