You’re invited on November 7, 2024, 7:00 pm at The Old Glass Place!
Join us as we celebrate you—the amazing parents, students, and friends of GDA. We’ll enjoy conversation over dinner, showcase some amazing things our students are doing, be inspired by our students, and learn how you can help further the mission and vision of GDA. All donations and pledges made for the Forward in Faith campaign will help further the mission to equip students to impact their community for the glory of God.
Proverbs 16:3 “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.”
Would you partner with us generously as we follow God in helping our students reach their full potential? We are thrilled to share that the Lord has provided an anonymous generous donor who has offered a FOUR TIMES MATCHING donation for all funds raised up to $50,000! If our community successfully raises the full $50,000, the donor’s four-times matching contribution would bring the total to $250,000. Please prayerfully consider contributing to the Forward in Faith fund by clicking here.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
What is the GDA family saying?
“GDA has been a safe-haven for our family. They have, and continue, to take our kiddo’s needs into account and work closely with us to create long-term growth, reach goals, and foster a love of learning and wonder in our kids.”
“Years from now I know I’ll see GDA as the best decision I ever made for my kids. They were doing good, but at GDA they have flourished!”
“Two of my kids are fairly shy. They stay fairly quiet around other people, even when engaged. After a few years at GDA, I’ve noticed them feel more comfortable around adults and they do so much better communicating in public!”
It is a chance to celebrate God’s blessing, bring focus to the mission & purpose of our school, share our vision for the future of GDA and raise funds for our Forward in Faith campaign. It is also a time of fellowship & celebration as it unites the Springfield community for the eternal purpose of developing ethical and wise individuals who will impact their community for the glory of God.
