01 / A day of gratitude
On this ground,
we gave thanks.
On Sunday, November 8, families, faculty, staff, board members, community members, and partners gathered at 5620 Old Highway 54 to celebrate a new chapter for Grace Christian Academy.
There was prayer. There was worship. And there were shovels, big and small, ready for the first turn of dirt.

Navy bows, golden shovels, and a place for the whole GCA family.
02 / Prayer & praise
Before the first shovel,
a moment together.
David Grinnell and Andy Sutton led worship as the GCA community came together in prayer and gratitude.
03 / The first turn of dirt
And then,
we broke ground.
One shared moment.
A future we’re building together.
All hands. All hearts.
Some brought the shovels.
Everyone brought the joy.
04 / The people behind the purpose
This is what
community looks like.
The hugs, the laughter, the little gold shovels. A few more moments worth holding onto.

The work ahead
We broke ground.
Now, we build.
Since 2020, GCA has grown as a guest of Yellow Creek Baptist Church. A portion of the former Hines Center property is now becoming a permanent home of our own.
We are transforming the existing building into classrooms and shared spaces where students can grow spiritually and academically through a Christian worldview.
