Serving Christian Artists & Academics in Georgia
GICAA CORE FAITH STATEMENTS:
The primary goal of school arts & academic competition should be to teach life lessons and life skills that will equip and prepare our young men and women for the world beyond high school. Winning is important, but it is not the most important thing. Bringing honor and glory to God in how we compete is more important than winning.
"It is possible to win a game... yet lose our ability to shine light into a dark world."
Every school, fine arts director and participant should strive to do their very best because God is honored when we give our best to Him. Fine arts directors and participants should understand that, because of their position, they carry a great deal of influence and should act accordingly. Directors and teachers hold an enormous amount of influence over their students.
Competition can be and should be conducted in such a way that brings honor and glory to God and draws people to Him.
If competition is done properly, win or lose — it will promote mutual respect and encouragement from schools and participants. If competition divides us and produces discord and strife, then it ceases to be God-honoring.
Schools and participants should have the opportunity to compete in a safe and Godly environment without unnecessary distractions.
