Our teams also have the option to participate in the Ohio Christian School Athletic Association (OCSAA) state tournaments. GCA has earned several league championships, as well as a few state championship and runner-up titles.
Our desire for our coaches is to model Christ-like living, love our student athletes, coach in a positive and enthusiastic manner, and work to make a difference in each student's athletic life. Scroll down to read more about our teams.
