Parent Portal - Grace Christian Academy

Our Mission
About Us
In 1996, God called Dr. Ron Stewart, former pastor of Grace Baptist Church (1988-2016), to begin a new ministry through the establishment of a Christian school. Grace Christian Academy opened its doors at the beginning of the 1997-98 school year. We're excited to see what the future holds for this life-changing ministry!
