Spiritual Life
At Calvin Christian School we seek to nurture every student’s spiritual growth, from the elementary level on through the end of high school. Practicing our mission to “explore, experience, and evaluate all of life under the lordship of Christ,” students have opportunities to develop their faith in God in a variety of ways. All students participate in Bible classes, join together to worship in chapel gatherings, and serve our community in practical ways. Staff build meaningful relationships with students, and encourage them in loving God, loving others, and understanding God’s purpose for them.
Chapel
Several times a month the elementary students gather together for singing and biblical input on a wide range of themes. This experience of singing with other children in a worship setting is a powerful way that our faith is strengthened. In addition to chapels, elementary students in every classroom participate in morning devotions as the day begins. Here each teacher leads their class in a time of reflecting on the many important aspects of our faith, often including times for prayer and worship singing.
Our collegiate students collectively participate in worship throughout the school year. Led by our student worship band, we praise our Heavenly Father through song and prepare to receive a spiritual message delivered by guest speakers and staff. Follow-up discussions related to chapel occur in Student Life Groups (SLGs) as we strive to implement God’s word in our daily lives. Every morning, collegiate students meet in an SLG with the same teacher for the duration of the school year. During this time, students participate in devotions and prayer and homeroom type activities. They build relationships and prepare to tackle the day.
