Over Three Decades of Christian Service
A Decade of Vision
1976 - A group of families seeking to combine academic excellence and authentic Christian principles establishes Greenville Christian School with 56 students enrolled in Kindergarten to Grade Four.
1978 - The school adds one grade per year and establishes a unified campus by renting the Educational Building at the former Washington Street Baptist Church.
1983 - A devasting fire consumes the Washington Street Baptist Church Educational Building. Undaunted, the school family re-establishes classes in less than a week and the first elementary classroom building is built at the School's current location.
1985 - The first senior class graduates from Greenville Christian School and the longstanding tradition of a senior trip to Washington D.C. begins.
A Decade of Growth
1986 - The school's gymnasium is built and athletic programs become an integral part of student life.
1988 - GCS receives formal accreditation from the Association of Christian School International (ACSI).
1989 - A National Honor Society chapter is established on campus and the surrounding athletic fields are developed.
1993 - An annex building providing more classroom space and a new library are constructed next to the GCS Elementary School building.
A Decade of Blessings
1997 - Student service to the community begins with the Service Learning Project program.
2004 - The school's missions program, called "Be My Witnesses", adds an annual mission trip and is awarded Exemplary Status by ACSI.
