"Faith is the avenue to salvation. Not intellectual understanding. Not money. Not your works. Just simple faith. How much faith? The faith of a mustard seed, so small you can hardly see it. But if you will put that little faith in the person of Jesus, your life will be changed. He will come with supernatural power into your heart. It can

happen to you."

OUR STRATEGY

We believe the total education experience is a matter of the stewardship of a child’s Godgiven potential, and therefore our education program is marked by teacher intentionality and accountability. We employ those fully committed to Jesus Christ with a calling not only to academia, but specifically to Faith. This combination with kingdom-minded families and a challenging, Christ-centered curriculum prime our environment to develop authentic Christian leaders. Our strategy is to align the strengths of our people, our calling, and finances to best serve our students and families.

WHO WE SERVE

We serve mission-minded families who desire a biblical worldview education for their children rooted in academics, leadership, athletics and creative arts

OUR ECONOMIC ENGINE

At Grapevine Faith Christian School, tuition covers operating costs. Gifts from donors provide for campus enhancements, new projects, new programs and expenses above and beyond day-to-day operating costs.
