GRACE was begun in September, 2013 with several objectives in mind--
1. Provide free, quality education in music and other related subjects to schools and persons without it.
2. Begin a broadcast presence in the greater Knysna area through online streaming then, ultimately, an FM presence.
3. Establish an academy of fine arts (GRAFA) and training institute for those who desire to serve the church in the arts.
4. Connect with and tie into a South African-administered nonprofit, now called Knysna Hope
We are intentional in omitting pop-culture/entertainment-driven media, as there are already existing options in our area for those seeking it. We, instead, choose a different audience and path.
We offer values-driven programs in subjects including but not limited to--
area events of recitals, choirs, music, and visual arts suitable for families (arts) such as Carol Sing events
classical and sacred music performances and recordings
informative interviews with local people of interest (communication) for podcasts and streaming
providing our schools with outside artists, connecting local learners to local academics (education)
local presentations of devotional lessons, sermons, and talks, honoring the greatness of God
