Concerning Junior Retreat
Our junior class retreat is an event that our students enjoy each year at GCCS. It is an opportunity for our students to learn leadership skills and connect with classmates. With that, we wanted to communicate some details about the upcoming trip.
March 25th-27th, our junior students will attend a junior retreat off campus. The retreat is held at the Heartland Retreat and Conference Center. A link to their webpage is Heartland Retreat: We provide world changing experiences. Please note, this is a mandatory retreat. Students that don’t attend will be given an alternate project to complete. Please contact Mr. McMillan at jmcmillan@grovecitychristian.org if your student cannot attend for any reason. Students will leave from the GCCS campus on Wednesday morning after 8AM attendance and return to campus on Friday afternoon. Students will be released to go home after that time. Please click HERE to give your student permission to attend. Permission and medical forms are due by Friday, February 13th, 2026.
The cost for the retreat is $250 and includes transportation, food, lodging, and activities at the camp. Payment is due online through your FACTS account, and will be broken up into the following payments:
$50- January 30th
$100- February 13th
$100- March 16th
*Please note, you cannot call the school to make a credit card payment.
If your student has prescribed medication that will need to be taken, please fill out the attached prescribed medication form and email them to our school nurse, Mrs.Wellman at bwellman@grovecitychristian.org.
A complete packing list has been emailed to you already from Mrs. Little.
This week in Bible, we focused on the doctrine of humanity—what is known as anthropology. Anthropology can be a broad category, but for our purposes we focused on a Christian ethic concerning humanity. We discussed issues surrounding sin, our sinful condition, redemption, and sanctification.
We finished the week by working on a position paper.
Anthropology Position Paper due Thursday, March 12th.
