Founding Pastor Larry Smithwick has a vision for a school that would not only feature Christ Centered education, but that would Share the Joy by developing disciples, able and willing to take the Love of Christ to their world.

During the 1990s, Grace Christian School grew from about 300 students to near 700 necessitating facility expansion foreseen in the School Board's Strategic Planning process. Phase 1 was an expansion of the north Worship Auditorium-Gymnasium and some classrooms. Phase 2 was a two floor wing of classrooms, laboratories and library extending south. These expansions were overseen by many faithful founders:

With support of Parent Church, Anchorage Grace and following two strategic plans conducted for the school board of Grace Christian School, a third phase of facility expansion has been launched during 2005. Phase 3 will be a double-wide Gymnasium combined with classrooms and offices located at the south end of the current Grace Christian School Facility. Anchorage Grace Church will take the lead in building a dedicated Fine Arts / Chapel extending from the northwest side of the facility.

A Capital Campaign called "Share-the-Joy" is designed to fund the project while continuing to support faculty and scholarships by assuring funding of the Annual Fund. The Kick-off of the Campaign was October 28, 2005 at the Egan Center.
