It's a wonderful blessing for us to watch those students who started six years ago with us grow and mature into extraordinary young men and women. Our current enrollment is thirty-eight, and we have come a long way from our first year when we started with just six students. We have progressed from renting a six-room house to a large facility with nine bright classrooms, a library, office space, and outside play areas for recess and physical activities.
Our small class sizes in which our Christian teachers provide a loving and caring
environment allow for the individual attention needed by international students. This, in addition to our clean and modern learning environment; high-quality, colorful, and
interesting American textbooks; and high academic, moral, and behavioral standards assist us in helping your child become a thinking, responsible, secure, well-rounded individual.
We are excited that you are interested in GGIA for your educational needs and hope that you will take advantage of the opportunity to talk with me and other staff members who will be eager to share their knowledge and experiences with you.
The staff and I are available to assist you in any way we can.
Sincerely,
Patrick W. Carter

| All Scripture contained in the Old and
New Testaments is verbally, plenary, and inerrantly inspired by God.
It is the authoritative guide for all Christian understanding, life
and ministry. We believe in the exact equivalent method translation
from the original languages. There
is but one God eternally existent in three persons: God the Father,
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Each is infinite, eternal, and
almighty. That Jesus Christ, the Son, is fully God and fully man. He
was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, and He
lived a sinless life. He died, shedding His blood in His
substitutionary death for sinners, then was buried, arose from the
grave, ascended into heaven, and is now seated at the right hand of
the Father.
The Holy Spirit, Who is Lord and giver
of life, convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment, and
unites man to Jesus Christ by faith. We believe the Holy Spirit seals
and fills all believers.
That man was created in the image and
likeness of God. It was by man's free volition that he disobeyed God,
incurring physical and spiritual death (separation from God). Each human
being is born with a sin nature. Because of this each human is a sinner
by nature and is in need of a divine salvation. That salvation is a gift
from God. This was accomplished by Christ's substitutionary death; all
who believe in Him are justified by the shedding of His blood. Because
salvation is given by grace, the believer's salvation is eternally
secure.
The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is sent
upon all who believe in Jesus Christ. This takes place in each believer
at the moment of salvation. Continual infilling may follow. Each gift
given by the Holy Spirit is for the edification of the Body of Christ,
and is still present today.
We believe that the fulfillment of The
Great Commission is the responsibility of all believers.
That the church is the body and the
bride of Christ. It is dedicated to the worship and service of God, and
the observance of the sacraments or ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's
Supper. The primary task of the church in all ages is to teach all
nations and to make disciples through the preaching and teaching of the
Word of God.
That Christ will return to rapture His
church. Immediately following this event will be the seven-year
tribulation period. Concluding this, Christ will come again to the earth
and establish His rule for a 1,000 year period. The Great White Throne
judgment of the unsaved, coupled with Satan being cast into the lake of
fire, will then allow Christ to establish a New Heaven and a New Earth.
This is the consummation of all things. |
