One of GCA's longtime vendors has had employees stationed in Cookeville, Tennessee completing work on a project.  The company owners, who are former GCA parents and GBC members, received a compelling text from the project foreman who experienced the devastating tornado that recently struck the area and witnessed the unbelievable destruction.

Even as the storm began to subside, he and a teammate spent the rest of the night going door to door assisting people in need.  When they returned to the area of destruction the next day, he was so deeply moved that he sent the following text to his boss back in Knoxville.  Those who have read his reflections have been touched and inspired by his words.  

"Our desire and motivation to serve should because of our genuine love and compassion for others.  Jesus has flipped the everyday thinking of mankind when it comes to service."

"From dedicated teachers, to intentional professional development, to revising programs to be the most beneficial, GCA gives more than lip service to being Excellent."

"At GCA, we believe that children will flourish when there is consistency in the message that students hear at school, at home with their family, and at their local church."

"We believe that the tripod connection of school, home, and church establishes a strong bond in the development of students when all are proclaiming the same message."

"Many still wonder, “What about this modern world where people tell us truth is relative… you have your truth, and I have my truth? How can we ever be certain that we know THE truth?”

"John knew that the answer to mankind’s deepest need was not another program, self-help book, or motivational speaker; mankind’s greatest need is a Savior."

"We brought Caroline in and she asked, 'Molly, am I going to die?'”

At GCA, we often mention the genuine love that our faculty and staff have for our students.  The Lay family saw firsthand the depth of the relationship and love that their child's teacher had for their daughter when faced with an unimaginable crisis.

The GCA Senior Capstone project is one that embodies our mission to Lead, Build, and Equip students to become lifelong followers of Jesus Christ.  It's an opportunity for GCA seniors to be equipped to better defend their faith and beliefs before they leave our campus for the next phase in their lives.
