This Sunday is GPCA Emphasis Sunday! – March 5, 2017
Pastor Rick Adams
God has blessed Greater Portland Christian Academy in an incredible way and this Sunday we want to tell you all about it!
Ever since our beginning, GPCA has partnered with parents and families to help train and educate their children for the glory of God!
At GPCA we are committed to “Excellence in Education!” The basis of that education is a “bible based education with a biblical worldview!”
GPCA offers that alternative at one of 
the most reasonable prices in East County and the Greater Portland area.
GPCA is preparing for our 12th year of education with K-4 thru 8th grade.
We are also giving every member of GPBC the first chance of placement in GPCA for the new 2017-18 school year.
If you are interested or praying about this, please know that the summer will be here and over in less than 6 months. The classes will fill up quickly and it is important that you get your children registered as soon as possible.
On April 1st GPCA will extend that invitation to those who are not members of GPBC. So please take advantage of this opportunity!
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Tallie Hein, our School Administrator, at 503-761-1136. She will answer any questions that your may have about costs or openings for the new school year of 2017-18.

Why Does GPBC Have A Christian School?
Pastor Rick Adams
Greater Portland Christian Academy is founded on the principle that the education of our children is a mandate that God gave to parents and the local church, and not the government.
Deuteronomy 6:7-9
And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Historically, churches have always played a vital role in the American educational process. In the past 50 years there has been a re-awakening of that early American ideal of education, namely the Christian School.
Education in America began in its churches, with the church house serving as the school house during the week. Many times the Pastor served as both teacher and preacher.
Academic excellence and character development was the primary focus in these early American schools, with the Bible playing as the absolute authority in the process.
Even a century after the beginning of government sponsored “public” schools, the Christian influence was still present. Right and wrong were still taught, teachers were held to high moral standards, the Bible was read and memorized, and prayer was both legal and practiced!
This direct influence of Christianity and Christian principles continued to affect America in a good way, producing some of the brightest minds the world has ever known! The result was that America was blessed by God and became the leading nation in the world in every area of endeavor.
In 1963, with no precedent in American court history, the Supreme Court radically altered the way that Americans could legally educate their children in the “public” school. They in effect “kicked” God and the Bible out of school!
Although it took another twenty or so years to rid the public schools of the Christian influence that had helped make them so great, nine liberal judges finally succeeded! Nine Supreme Court justices robbed America of her Christian heritage and sent American education back into the Dark Ages.
Since then, test scores and performance have tumbled, behavior has deteriorated, and morality and godly living have for all practical purposes become extinct. Now almost 50 years after God was kicked out, American government schools have become a battleground upon which many school children have died at the hands of their own classmates! Most American public schools now have full-time security or policemen on campus just to keep the peace!!
Although there are many fine Christian people teaching in public schools, sadly their hands are tied, and they are personally limited when it comes to having the freedom to teach or express their faith to their students and teach them from God’s Word.
According to the Bible, God commands Christian parents to educate their children in the ways of the Lord from birth, until they become responsible adults. (Prov. 22:6; Deut.6:7-9)
As Bible Believing Christians, we believe that we must be allowed to teach our children in the ways of the Lord daily and regularly. This is our religious conviction, and we are committed to that end. This is why we have a Christian School.
It is the express purpose of GPCA to be a complement to every parent that has the desire to obey God in the pursuit of this most noble endeavor! Every year
If you are looking for a Christian School that will offer your child a Biblical Worldview, excellent academics, where Bible lessons are taught daily, weekly Chapel services to challenge the students from the preaching of the Word of God, a safe and secured campus, and godly Spirit-filled teachers, Greater Portland Christian Academy may just be the place you want to send your children for school!
