A century ago, small and deeply committed groups of individuals in Grand Rapids shared a bold aspiration: to start a school that would prepare young people to be servants of Christ in a fast-changing world. Today, as we prepare for the launch of the second century of Grand Rapids Christian Schools in March 2023, we celebrate 100 years of sustained commitment to the aspirational vision of our founders. We also recognize that, generation after generation, our history has always had a future focus: looking forward, and preparing students for purposeful, faith-centered lives as they go forth into their world.
As we approach the start of our second century, we thank you for everything you and many others have done thus far to benefit our students. It is because of you and God’s grace working through you that our students thrive and our schools flourish.
Because of the relevance of our mission to your values and the special relationship we share, we hope you will consider becoming a sponsor and joining us at a special event on Wednesday, March 15, 2023, at the Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) to mark the completion of our first-century history and the promise of our future ahead. Together we will enjoy dinner, drinks, and art as we honor several people who have contributed to our mission over many years in especially meaningful ways. These include:
Sid Jansma Jr., Class of 1961
2023 Recipient of the Richard M. DeVos Distinguished Alumni Award
Past and Present Teachers of GRCS
2023 Recipients of the Eagle Impact Award
