In the early 1990s, a group of Greenwood-area parents approached the Community Church of Greenwood (CCG) and asked that the church consider starting a Christian school in the community. CCG's Pastor Dr. Charles Lake commissioned a team to investigate the possibility, and the team concluded that such a school would be viable but should operate independently of a single church. The team added leaders of other local churches, continued pursuing God's leading, formed Greenwood Christian Academy (GCA), and opened its doors on Madison Avenue in the fall of 1998. Two years later, GCA opened a second campus for elementary students within the CCG facility. In 2007, GCA combined its elementary and secondary schools into one building on Worthsville Road.
In April 2021, GCA announced that it would be moving its high school to the former Gathering Place facility beginning in the 2021/22 school year.
