As Christians, we are called to be "dual citizens," seeking the good of the nations and cities where God has placed us while advancing God's Kingdom on the earth. Here's a few examples of how students at Grace are equipped as citizens…

Engaged citizens have compassionate hearts and seek the good of those around them. We develop these traits in our students through partnerships with Christian ministries such as Operation Christmas Child and Children's Hunger Fund. We love how engagement with these organizations helps open our students' eyes to the needs around them and discover how they can make a difference in their community and world.

Grace Varsity Football capped off an unforgettable season, finishing undefeated in regular-season league play and securing back-to-back Citrus Coast League championships. The Lancers continued their postseason run beating the Rialto high school Knights 28-27 in the first round; the Yucca Valley Trojans 41-28 in the quarterfinals; the Coachella Valley Mighty Arabs 49-42 in the semi-finals, advancing to the championship game to face Santa Paula—who the Lancers had lost to in the beginning of the season.

Grace administration is committed to the professional development of our teachers and staff. Recently, Matt Cooper, Head of School, invited Dr. Greg Gifford to come speak to our entire organization on the difference between the mind and the brain as we face rising mental illness diagnosis in our society. Dr. Gifford skillfully taught us how to think biblically on this subject and how to respond truthfully and compassionately to people who are suffering. This topic is explored at length in his most recent book, Life Without the Numb. 

Dr. Greg Gifford is the Chair of the School of Biblical Studies at The Masters' University and is Assistant Professor of Biblical Counseling.

Dr. Gifford's areas of particular interest are the influencing role of habits to desires and also post-traumatic stress disorder. He has published four books: Life Without the Numb, Lies My Therapist Told Me, Heart and Habits, and Helping Your Family Through PTSD. 

Elementary Athletic Director, Kent Carpenter recently shared some exciting news with the staff at Grace.
