Chapel
Chapel
Spiritual nurture takes place in many forms at Highland Christian School. Chapel provides students with time to praise God, cast their cares on Him and learn practical lessons from the Word of God. This is a valuable time for students - emphasizing the importance of spiritual formation and spiritual community in daily life. Junior High Students participate in chapel weekly while all students participate in chapel at least once a month.
Monthly, we host all school chapels. Many of these are grade level led and parents and friends of Highland Christian School are invited to join us for these theme-based celebrations of our life in Christ.
