The goal of this event is to raise funds to support the growth of the Grace Christian School Outdoor Sportsman Programs. This includes continuing to develop our Shooting Team and Bass Fishing team, and soon to come, Mountain Biking Team.
This year, GCS has expanded to 32 athletic teams across 11 athletic programs, including most recently added Track & Field and Bass Fishing. The development of Outdoor Sportsman Programs specifically allows us to continue expand our offerings beyond our traditional NCISAA sports, and engage more students in our athletic mission as Crusaders for Christ.
GCS athletes are challenged to incorporate our athletic mission “WORK. WITNESS. WIN.” into their daily lives. Training up hard-working athletes who are bold in their faith and humble in their actions is a true honor. Grace Christian School is excited about the future of the the GCS Outdoor Sportsman Programs and how God will work in the lives of our students through it.
