It was a pleasure to welcome Andrew Wood, Director of HOPE Resource Center, back to GCA Chapels on Thursday, Jan. 13! Mr. Wood spoke to each of the school divisions about the life-changing work taking place through HOPE as they help meet the needs of pregnant mothers and their unborn babies.
GCA students returned to campus with a new addition in many of their classrooms! As part of the initiative to continue upgrading technology across campus, twelve new Promethean boards were installed and are now in use by faculty members across all divisions.
After more than a year of preparation, documentation, work by a designated team, and the faculty and staff, Grace Christian Academy was notified of its successful re-accreditation effective on December 31, 2021. The school is so pleased to have successfully met the requirements to continue pursuing the advancement of this life-changing ministry!
