Giving

At Grove City Christian School (GCCS), we are committed to partnering with families to provide a Christ-centered education that nurtures students academically, spiritually, and socially. In today’s culture, it is more important than ever for students to be grounded in biblical truth rather than influenced by shifting secular values.

Your generosity ensures that GCCS students grow in wisdom, character, and faith, rather than being exposed to the indoctrination often present in public schools. Through your support, we are able to offer scholarships, improve facilities, and expand opportunities for students to thrive in an environment where their faith is nurtured, their minds are challenged, and their hearts are prepared for a life of leadership and service.

Together, we can ensure every student has access to a transformative Christian education that prepares them for a future anchored in truth.

Schoolwide Initiatives:

• Rise Up

At The Naz, our mission is helping people take their next step toward Jesus Christ—together. Today, God is opening a door to impact our community through Grove City Christian School in an even greater way.

The need is clear. Grove City is home to nearly 45,000 people, yet thousands are still searching for connection, belonging, and the hope of Jesus. At the same time, families are actively seeking Christ-centered education and community. Our school is thriving—but full. This year alone, we received 178 applications for just 83 new student spots, meaning many families who desire a Grove City Christian education simply cannot be served.

This vision is about more than expanding buildings—it’s about expanding impact. With a school addition, we can grow to a school of 1,200, creating space for more students to be known, discipled, and equipped to thrive academically, spiritually, and socially. A new fieldhouse will strengthen athletics and student development while expanding opportunities for ministries like Upward Sports and community leagues—often a family’s first connection to The Naz. Additional details and renderings can be found HERE.

God is moving powerfully at Grove City Christian School, and we believe this is our moment to rise up once again. Together, we can create space for the next generation, strengthen families, and build a bridge for more people to experience faith, family, and a future in Christ.

We invite every person and family to prayerfully consider how God may lead them to participate in this vision through a one-time gift and/or a pledge fulfilled over the next 24 months. Every gift—large or small—moves this mission forward, and together, our impact can last for generations.

When you are ready to take your next step and make your commitment, click HERE to submit your pledge or one-time gift and join us in building for the future.
