Meet our staff

teacher preschool

I have been teaching preschool at GCS for 18 years. I enjoy teaching the littlest ones at GCS about God and His love for them. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children as well as spending time up north with family.

- Brenda Wells

kinder teacher

I am the kindergarten teacher and Assistant Principal. This is my 10th year at Grant Christian teaching and have been the AP for four. I have always had a passion for teaching and for sharing the love of Christ with children. I am so thankful for GCS and its community.

- Melissa Knol

1/2 teacher

I have 9 years of teaching experience in China, California, Indiana, and now GCS for the last 5 years. When not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband and young daughter, while watching sports, playing games, and exploring trails.

- Hannah Trelaan

teacher

Teaching is not a job; it is a love. After moving and teaching in 3 states, I am thrilled to be able to work in a wonderful school like GCS. I pray that the Lord will continue to bless this school and the families that entrust their schoolers to the teaching staff here.

- Linda Wiers

3/4 teacher

One of my favorite subjects to teach is science. Through science I can show my student the might and power of God and His love for mankind. When I am not teaching, I love to travel and spend time with family and friends. My favorite verse is Romans 8:28-30.

- Jennifer Borgman

teacher

I am in my fourth year as a teacher here at GCS. I live in Walker with my wife, Maria. I am beginning my third season coaching varsity lacrosse in Hudsonville. Maria and I love skiing, visiting family, hanging out at the beach, and spending time with our niece and nephews.

- Gunnar Elder

middle school teacher

I am the Lead Middle School teacher at GCS for the past 4 years. I also am the 8th-grade sponsor, chapel audio/visual coordinator, yearbook advisor, and technology consultant. My favorite time of day is our homeroom where we learn from God’s word.

- Susan Oatis

science teacher

My favorite part of teaching is when I am able to take the lesson outside and help students learn something with a practical application. When I am not at school, I enjoy reading, backpacking, and doing almost anything outdoors.
