The Forum
Brett Harte, Project Aministrator

On Monday, October 29th, we will begin a new phase in the development of our campus with the construction of The Forum. The multipurpose facility will be used for events such as chapel, school wide gatherings, special performances, speakers, parent gatherings, basketball and volleyball games, athletic offices, and more.  Encompassing nearly 80,000 square feet and with a capacity of over 3200 seats, the facility will be a substantial project.  With its pedestrian plaza connecting to the Senior High and Junior High buildings and its location near the front entrance of our campus, it will become a central piece in the GACS landscape.    Read more...

Master Planning
Dr. David Fincher, President

If you’ve been around the Greater Atlanta Christian campus for any time, you’ve seen it expand and improve.  Those changes have not been random, but part of a strategic plan first set in motion in 1999-2000, then refined and updated beginning in spring 2003.  Step-by-step the vision has come together, in programs, outlook, and facilities.  Progress is measured in ways far beyond facilities, but they are tools that further our mission for our children to grow as Jesus did, in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man.      Read more...
