ATHLETICS
As a Christian academy that desires to reflect the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ in all of its programming and to offer students a holistic learning experience founded on Scripture, Grace Classical Christian Academy launched its athletics program in Fall 2020. GCCA does not seek to become a school that gives the brain priority over the body, or vice versa. Rather, we want to grow as a biblically balanced school which understands that God requires both mind and body to be in full submission to his lordship (see Deut 6:5; 1 Cor 9:24-27).
GCCA teaches athletics much like we teach any subject—in a way that helps the students understand more about God, man, sin, and salvation. The goal of our athletics program is discipleship: to maximize the opportunities afforded by competition (e.g., diligence; endurance; failure; victory; strategy; camaraderie; cooperation; and more) to train both mind and body for the work of Christ’s kingdom. The parallels between athletics and “fighting the good fight of faith” are so perceptible that the apostle Paul frequently drew upon them to bring encouragement to believers (see Phil 3:13-14; 1 Tim 4:8).
We currently offer sports for Logic & Rhetoric Schools. To find out more, please contact our Athletics Administrator, Mona Dolan, at mdolan@graceclassical.com.
