Welcome Back TCS Lions!
Kick Off To The 2026-2027 School Year
By Samantha DePriest
What a joy it is for Trinity Christian School to begin its 35th year of serving the community by providing a Christ-centered education to students from more than 200 churches across multiple counties in Georgia. With more than 1,600 alumni and nearly 1,400 students currently enrolled, the mission of TCS remains unchanged: to prepare today’s students to impact tomorrow’s world by educating minds for cultural engagement, equipping hearts for character development, and empowering hands for compassionate service.
Traditions are an important part of the culture at TCS. Each year, the school year begins with events that bring families and staff together to celebrate God’s work within the TCS community.
Welcome to the ROAR is a special event that gives students and parents an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and make new friends. This year, the sun came out as families filled the stadium, enjoyed inflatables, connected with staff to learn more about resources available at TCS, and caught a sneak peek of the football and cheer programs during scrimmages featuring students from fifth grade through varsity.
Meet the Teacher Monday was a day filled with school supplies and smiles, handshakes and hugs. Families filled the hallways and classrooms across campus as they met their new teachers, reconnected with friends, and began building relationships for the year ahead.
As Trinity Christian School celebrates its 35th year, the story of how the school began, God’s provision throughout the years, and the many lives that have been impacted will be woven throughout special events, classrooms, chapel messages, and more. This celebration will provide an opportunity to look back with gratitude, honor God’s faithfulness, and reflect on the lasting impact of Trinity Christian School.
History of TCS
“In the fall of 1991, Fayette Fellowship (now Trinity Church) began a Christian preschool with the early goals of affordability, excellence, and genuine Christian care in an educational environment that saw each student as “a special gift from God.” Through prayer, sacrifice, and perseverance, a ministry to children that would profoundly affect the lives of hundreds of Coweta and Fayette county families started to grow. By 1994, an elementary school offering kindergarten through third grade was offered.
Although the school did little advertising, families began sharing with their friends about their satisfaction with a school that offered quality academic instruction with strong Christian values and affordable tuition. With Trinity Church’s support, oversight, and facilities, TCS continued adding grade levels and hiring competent, committed Christian teachers and staff.
The present elementary building was constructed and occupied in 1999 to provide necessary classroom space for the rapid growth. It quickly reached capacity, leading to the 2004 construction of the Newton Center, a building which included 12 new classrooms, a large gymnasium, fellowship hall/cafeteria, and facilities for the growing music, sports, drama and P.E. programs. This expansion also accommodated the first high school class in the fall of 2005.
In August of 2009, grades 8–12 were relocated to the original campus of Crossroads Church to accommodate increased high school growth. High school classrooms were housed in the sanctuary building while The Hanger provided space for lunch and P.E. classes. Modular units were utilized for special meeting rooms and additional classroom space.
In August of 2012, a new middle school building was completed at TCS’ main campus and now houses 6th–8th grades, which allowed for expanded growth in the elementary school.
In October of 2018, a state-of-the-art high school building was completed and all of our students were combined onto the same campus for the first time in nearly 10 years.”
