Robert R Gustafson Building Fund
Our Pastor, Founder, and Friend, Pastor Gustafson went home to be with the Lord. He will be missed and yet we rejoice that he is with the Lord for eternity. We are thankful for the ground work that he set forth and for the legacy he leaves behind.
“We are very excited to have the plans finished for the Robert R. Gustafson Center. The center will be home to a new gymnasium, 12 classrooms, and two lecture auditoriums. The center will also have locker rooms, concessions, and administrative offices. The facility will increase our student capacity and expand our ability to provide new programs in sports for students of all grades. By adding a second gymnasium, we will be able to engage the elementary students in exciting interscholastic leagues, provide a greater capacity for all of our teams, and be the new home of the GCS Patriots varsity sports. The building will be named in honor of our founder Dr. Robert Gustafson, who was the visionary of this great school ministry. I, myself, came to know the Lord throug the ministry of Grace Christian School. I am so thankful for what GCS has meant to this community for more than forty years. Would you please consider a special gift to the completion of this building? We thank you inadvance for your participation. I know that the Lord will bless your gift towards this cause.”

S.O.A.R
Student Outreach and Resources (S.O.A.R.) is a program designed to serve students who have been diagnosed with a specific learning disability, or similar learning challenge, and are working on a current individual education program (IEP) or 504 plan. This program was launched in August of 2015 and has been successful in helping students build confidence in themselves, as well as improve academically. Currently we are able to assist students who are in the 1st through 12th grade.
Accepted students will be engaged and challenged in a general education classroom where modifications to curriculum will be made, as well as accommodations according to the student’s unique needs, documented in the IEP. Students will also participate in intensive small group sessions, or be given one-on-one assistance focused on the student’s individual area of academic and/or social struggle. This extra support will occur outside of the student’s main classroom in an environment designed with these particular students in mind.

THE GCS GOLF CLASSIC
39th Annual Grace Christian Golf Classic
Date: Thursday, March 5th, 2027
Time: 11:00am to 7:30 pm
Location: Buckhorn Springs Golf and Country Club
Join us this year for our 39th Annual Grace Christian Golf Classic. The school is supported by both tuition and contributions. Contributions are very important educating our students as our tuition does not cover all of those costs. Our desire has been to provide a Academic Excellence for every boy and girl and the Grace Christian Golf Classic has been a mainstay in helping support our students for 39 years.
THE GCS ANNUAL GALA
For over 50 years, GCS has been a Christ-centered, college-preparatory school serving students in the Greater Tampa Bay area. Since opening in 1974, GCS has continued to grow our academic, fine arts, and athletic programs by elevating our students to the highest levels of achievement.
The Glitter & Gold Gala on April 17th 2016 will be a elegant, multi-generational event designed to bring together people from the past and present for an incredible evening of music with an extraordinary Dueling Piano performance.
The fundraising proceeds from the Gala will go to support the mission and growth of Grace Christian School and the future construction of the Robert R. Gustafson Center in order to continue to provide our students “Academic Excellence with a Christian Emphasis”.
