Leadership

By way of contrast, the Head of School leads and directs the day-to-day operations of GRACE and implements the general policies established by the Board. With our Lord’s direction and blessing, our Board has helped lead GRACE in many growth areas, including physical improvements on both campuses, building financial stability, working toward exemplary accreditation through ACSI, expanding student enrollment, developing an effective advancement/development effort, and guiding the purchase of new land for our future campus.

 

Each Trustee testifies to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, commits to serve faithfully at GRACE and seeks God’s leading in all Board matters. Board service is a demanding, challenging, humbling and rewarding commitment that requires prayer, wisdom, judgment, discretion, trust and substantial time. Our Board consists of at least six voting members and two administrators sitting ex-officio. The Board has regularly scheduled meetings throughout the year, as well as subcommittee meetings focused on specific topics, such as governance or finance. Members can serve two consecutive terms but then must take a year off before serving again.

 

Board Trustees are nominated by the board governance committee in consultation with the school leadership. Trustees are selected based in large part on their spiritual maturity, commitment to GRACE, involvement in the community at large, dedication to Christian education, and ability to further the GRACE mission through their gifts and talents.
