GROVES CHRISTIAN COLLEGE - MISSION STATEMENT

A MINISTRY OF (CCM) CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY MINISTRIES

Groves Christian College commenced in January 1999 as a second campus of Mueller College at Redcliffe. From January 2001, Groves and Mueller officially demutualised - but have retained close links of fellowship and continued close co-operation in all curriculum matters. Groves Christian College operates as a ministry of the Brisbane Southside Christian Assemblies - though it serves the schooling needs of Christian families from a wide range of evangelical traditions and backgrounds. It exists to support the Christian church and Christian families in their God-given responsibility of nurturing and training children, and others who desire this type of schooling experience for their children.
