GCCS Campaign

Continued Growth at Grandville Calvin Christian

“Together in Faith” is a campaign to strengthen the student experience, expand access for families, and renew our campuses so we can continue to serve students with excellence — now and for generations to come.

Take the next step

Why This Campaign?

Grandville Calvin Christian School has always been about more than a building; it’s about students being known, supported, and formed in Christ. With anticipated enrollment growth and as our campuses age gracefully, we’re facing real facility constraints that affect daily student life and the overall experience for families and visitors.

The Plan at a Glance

This campaign brings clarity and momentum to two priorities that must move forward together: mission investment and campus renewal.

What This Campaign Makes Possible

Integrate Faith with Learning

We’re investing in spaces and programs that support relationships, belonging, discipleship, and excellence–every day.

Increase Accessibility

Through the Squire Fund, we’re strengthening tuition assistance and mission-critical support so more families can say “yes” to Christian education.

Sustainable, Secure Campuses

We’re renewing key areas across campuses to improve safety, stewardship, and the long-term health of facilities.

Invest in Our Future

Our teachers and staff are key to who we are and what we do. To retain and attract top teachers, we’re committing to ensuring compensation matches the quality of education received at GCCS.

Campaign Initiatives

Mission Investment – Squire Fund

$3.6M
Annual giving helps close the gap between the real cost of Christian education and what tuition covers – supporting tuition assistance and the robust variety of programs, like student support services and fine arts, that strengthen student life and learning.

Campus Renewal – CCHS

$6.5M
Centered on our sense of community, we are dedicated to building a new multi-purpose flex space on the CCHS campus where students can eat lunch, families can gather after school activities, and we can host extracurricular activities. This space will be called the Calvin Commons to reflect the strength of our community. We will also build a new industrial kitchen for lunch service and a new culinary arts space for hands-on learning opportunities.

Enhanced Security – CCMS

$400K
As we must prioritize the safety of students and staff, we realize there are places of immediate need. We are committing to updating the front entrance of our middle school by creating a secure entryway with a revamped office to maximize security and space.

Facilities Upgrades – All Campuses

$1.5M
As time goes on, our classrooms and spaces experience increasing wear and tear from constant use. It is time to offer a refresh throughout each campus within each classroom to offer a clean and modern learning environment. We will update classrooms with new carpet, paint, and furniture.

Shaping Community at GCCS

FAQs

The GCCS Board approved the fundraising portion of the “Together in Faith” campaign. This fundraising aims to raise at least $12 million over three years.

The “Together in Faith” campaign will run from the spring of 2026 until July 31, 2028. This means that it covers three school years: 2025-2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028. Our goal is to receive all pledges by December 31, 2026, so we can determine when to begin the Calvin Commons project.

We ask that pledges be paid in full by July 31, 2028.

We have already been planning our classes and use of classrooms to ensure that each campus continues to offer the breadth of programs it always has.

The middle school entry project will be completed during the summer and will not affect student learning.

Please pray continuously for our students and school. We believe in the power of prayer over all we do. We also need your continuous financial commitment to the project. As you plan your future giving, a three-year commitment will help us manage the project’s cash flow and keep GCCS debt-free. Gifts of all sizes are important and needed.
