HISTORY<br />
<strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Child</strong> <strong>Care</strong> opened in 1989 on Columbus Street with 13 staff <strong>and</strong> 56 children.<br />
In 1990, <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> Church <strong>of</strong> the Nazarene founded <strong>Grove</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>School</strong> as part <strong>of</strong> the master<br />
plan. Several families within the church community expressed the need to start the school. It was<br />
always intended to be an outreach <strong>of</strong> GCCN <strong>and</strong> remain a part <strong>of</strong> the church. The goal was to see every<br />
student grounded in the Word <strong>and</strong> able to defend his or her beliefs.<br />
The first kindergarten class had 15 students, most <strong>of</strong> whom were children <strong>of</strong> church members. It was<br />
the mission <strong>of</strong> the school board to add a grade level every year as the original class progressed. The<br />
goal was never large enrollment but rather to provide a solid <strong>Christian</strong> education for students. The<br />
school occupied the space now known as the Early Elementary Wing.<br />
“LET THE LITTLE CHILDREN COME<br />
TO ME, AND DO NOT HINDER THEM,<br />
FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN<br />
BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE.”<br />
MATTHEW 19:14
