School Notes
OUR FOUNDATION Faith is not hope. Faith is the means by which
we receive those things we hope for. Neither is faith sight. Faith
is the evidence of things not seen. Biblical faith is an absolute
requirement for answered prayer. The writer of Hebrews states, "But
without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6, KJV). As a school of faith and
as teachers and staff at GCS, our purpose is to model and give
witness to faith every day, and to inspire our students to do the
same.Preparation: The Bible tells us that perseverance and
preparation go together. Good intentions and hard work are not
enough with God. He also expects us to be good stewards and use the
information as well as the resources that He has provided us to
fulfill our calling. In His mercy, God provides us with everything
we need to succeed. As a school of preparation, we believe our
students are called to learn to be critical thinkers, problem
solvers, and active participants in their faith, in their
citizenship and as life-long learners.Community: Throughout the
Bible, "community" is mentioned as a way of life, particularly in
the early Church. God has always been calling out a people for
Himself, beginning with Israel and continuing with the church.
Community is the lateral relationship of the cross, with the
vertical being our relationship with God. By definition: "Biblical
Community is the body of Christ expressing the life and message of
Christ to build up one another and redeem the world for God`s
glory." As a school of community, we believe in the partnership of
our families, the church and our school in reinforcing critical
values. Those values include our hope in the Gospel message,
respect for individuals, and the dignity of life.ServiceThe Bible
tells us that each of us should use whatever gifts God has uniquely
given to us to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace
in its various forms. "Just as each of us has one body with many
members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in
Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to
all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace
given us." (Romans 12:4-6a) As a school of service, we
believe each individual has a responsibility to the community.
Service is belief in action, and ultimately, service enables our
students to develop important leadership skills through
Christ.SpiritIt is a common Bible teaching that how a man thinks is
expressed in his actions (Prov. 23:7; Matt.12:34).The Hebrew word
for 'spirit' means both the breath or mind, and also power. Our
spirit, the essential us, refers to our thoughts and therefore also
to the actions which we take to express those thoughts or
disposition within us. On a far more glorious scale, God's spirit
is the same; it is the power by which He displays His essential
being, His disposition and purpose. God thinks and therefore does
things: "As I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have
purposed, so shall it stand" (Is. 14:24). As a school of spirit, we
foster an environment where students learn, interact and develop
friendships in a real world setting, allowing them to appreciate
how each of us are uniquely created in God`s image, and to bind
them together in our shared values.LeadershipCharacter is the
conduit for producing Christian service and leadership. We lead out
of who we are in Christ. Our relationship with Christ forms and
shapes our person. We cannot separate our service and leadership
from a composite picture of our values, beliefs and godly nature.
Self-insight and learning and growing disposition ensure a maturing
character and a more responsive leadership style. As a school of
leadership, our goal is to inspire students into Christian
leadership that embodies worshipping Christ, and includes a
teaching and serving process that envisions, influences, shapes and
enhances leaders and followers who realize God`s goals for change
