Greene County Christian Learning Center

Over 140 students from Greene County are taking a Bible class during the school day. Students from GCHS, Lake Oconee Academy, Carson Middle, Nathanael Greene Academy, and the Prep Academy will receive academic credit for a foundational survey course of the Old Testament. FIFTY Greene County High School students participate in this released-time education program as part of the Greene County Christian Learning Center. This is perfectly legal in public schools if parents grant... permission, students meet off campus, and all costs are privately funded. ATLAS is overjoyed to partner with the five participating schools in the county. We are also thankful for our dedicated teachers who meet with these students each day and share the love of Christ: Marvin Smith (GCHS and PREP), Keith Harris (CMS), Jay Thompson (LOA), Kevin Magness (LOA), Nesial Miller (GCHS), and Farrett Boswell (NGA). After finishing a lesson from their class, The History and Literature of the Old Testament, these GCHS students get to enjoy Atlas Ministry's new game room. (Notice teacher, Marvin Smith, getting whipped in air hockey by Paulina.)

It is the pleasure of ATLAS Ministry to announce the first recipients of their new scholarship program. Moravia Turner, a Greene County High School senior, has been awarded the Greene County Christian Learning Center Scholarship. Moravia is the daughter of Yoshika Chapman and Willie Turner. She is planning on attending the University of West Georgia and majoring in Biology. She is devoted to her studies and has shown a great desire in the Christian Learning Center class to gr...ow in her faith and in the knowledge of the Lord. Phillip Hubbard has been awarded the HOPE Program Scholarship. Phillip is also a Greene County High School senior and is the son of Paige and Brian Hubbard. He plans on attending the University of North Georgia in the fall. He has been an active broadcaster at Greene County High School and has plans to major in Broadcasting in college. He has shown himself to be a young man of high purpose and integrity. ATLAS Ministry has offered abstinence and character education in Greene County Schools since 2008. As of 2014, ATLAS hosts classes in all elementary, middle, and high schools in Greene County. In order to be qualified for the HOPE Program Scholarship, a senior must complete an application and essay and have participated in at least one HOPE course. This recipient must also exemplify high character, an understanding of the importance of the HOPE message, and a servant’s heart. The Greene County Christian Learning Center Scholarship is given to a student who has been enrolled in at least one of the Christian Learning Center Bible classes that is offered during the school day. This student must also complete an application and essay. In addition, the recipient must demonstrate a desire to study Scripture and apply it to life. Both students will receive $1000 payable upon acceptance to the college or university of their choice. As other schools in Greene County produce seniors who have participated in ATLAS Ministry’s Christian Learning Center classes, these scholarships will be extended there as well. See more
