Grace Christian Academy - Owensboro, KY 2023-24

Our Mission

The mission of Grace

Christian Academy is to glorify God by equipping students with a spiritually and academically solid Christian worldview.

We believe the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired, infallible, inerrant, authoritative and sufficient Word of God.

(2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21)

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

(Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14)

We believe in the deity and humanity of Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His present rule as Head of the church and in His personal return in power and glory.

(Colossians 1:13-20; 1 Peter 3:22)

We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential, and that this salvation is received through faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, repentance toward God, and not as a result of good works.

(Romans 3:23-26; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:5)

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and perform good works.

(Romans 8:9-11; Ephesians 2:10; Titus 2:12-14)

We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; those that are saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and those that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

(John 5:24-25, 28-29)

We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, with equality across racial, gender, and class differences.

(John 17:20-23; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Galatians 3:28)

Pre-K & Elementary

Jesus has a heart for children, and so does GCA. The goal of our elementary classes is to create a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where your child will learn to love learning.

The infusion of a Christian worldview begins at an early age, and as the children at GCA paint, sing, dance, laugh, read, and serve through the school year, we trust they will begin to understand more about Jesus. I invite your child and your family to join us! Please contact me if you have any questions about our preschool and elementary classes.

We seek to balance academic rigor with academic support. Our highly qualified teachers craft engaging lessons and meaningful assignments that require critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In addition, our teachers provide a loving rapport with each student, which creates a comfortable environment for students to approach teachers for extra practice or help. Current students appreciate the variety of teaching styles. In the span of a week, students

may conduct a science experiment, solve algebraic equations, watch a money management video, describe a model house in Spanish, delve into Old Testament poetry, and do creative projects in English. Active learning is key! Over the four years of high school, our curriculum is designed to provide students with both the essential courses to prepare them for the future and the worldview instruction to help them to live for Christ!
