GCS Families & Friends,

The 2023-24 school year marks 50 years of “Training Soldiers for Christ”.  Fifty years ago a small group of parents met to set in place the framework of a distinctively Bible-based Christian school that would serve the greater Genesee County area.  The faithful work of these founders has allowed for over 1,250 graduates!   Many GCS alumni have moved on to careers and ministries spreading the gospel and reflecting the light of Christ in our community and around the world.

The legacy of GCS continues as we are witnessing third generation Soldiers in our elementary classrooms, and a multitude of second generation GCS students and graduates. We would love to keep all of our graduates and families connected this year as we share the memories and stories of Genesee Christian School.

We are planning to kick off our 50th year celebration with a full GCS Homecoming Event on Friday, September 29, 2023, including a community parade from the high school to the elementary.   The parade will feature our typical high school class floats, class representatives, and Grand Marshall, Mrs. Becky Gebhart. Other school groups, alumni groups, and school supporters are encouraged to submit an application for entry in the parade.  See the attached application form for more details.

Stay tuned for upcoming events on the GCS website https://geneseechristianschool.com/events/, or like the GCS Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/geneseechristianschool.  Feel free to forward this letter to any GCS Alumnus or supporter who would like to stay connected to the events at GCS!

If you are a GCS Alumnus and would like email communications about upcoming GCS Alumni events, then please complete the short survey.  https://forms.gle/1GD9C3vBKTsRQoUC7

Thank you for being part of the GCS family!  Go Soldiers!

In Christ’s Service,
