Alumni Awards
Each year Charlotte Christian School awards alumni who have distinguished themselves through exceptional service to the school and the greater community. Awards given include the Alumni Service Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award.
Alumni, faculty, staff, and friends are invited to submit nominations for these awards in the fall of each school year. The award recipients will be selected by a committee in early fall and recognized for their accomplishments during the annual CCS Homecoming football game.

2024 Distinguished Alumni Award - Greg Lineberger ('99)
Greg Lineberger attended Charlotte Christian for 14 years and is a graduate of the class of 1999. As a student, Greg was the captain of his sophomore, junior, and senior year swim teams and participated in various service trips through CCS Experience.
After graduation, Greg attended Liberty University, where he earned his undergraduate degree in 2003, and, just weeks later, married fellow CCS alum and high school sweetheart Autumn Page.
In 1996, Greg took his first trip to Mfangano Island, located in Lake Victoria, Kenya. While there, he and his father served children orphaned by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This trip captured Greg’s heart for working with local Kenyans. In 2003, Greg’s father Bill Lineberger and Kenyan leader Naphtaly Mattah formed a 501c3 and opened Gethsemane Garden Christian Centre, a Christian boarding school for K-3 students. Today, Gethsemane Garden serves nearly 700 students, providing them a Christian education, housing, nourishment, and focuses on developing the next generation’s leaders.
Greg began serving on the board of Gethsemane Garden in 2017 and has been leading as Executive Director since 2019. Additionally, Greg continues to grow Lineberger Christian Counseling in Charlotte as a licensed clinical mental health counselor and national certified counselor. Greg and Autumn have been married for 21 years and have six children.
Greg received our Distinguished Alumni Award for demonstrating the heart of Charlotte Christian by impacting the culture for Christ both locally and globally.
