Groves Christian College was founded in 1998 as a fledgling school by a committed group of local Christian people who prayed about doing a work for God by establishing a Christian school in the heart of Logan City. Since then, the school has grown to over 800 students across two campuses and has played the role of parent school in starting similar schools in and around Logan.
