Chapel

Chapel programs are held for grades PK4 through Fifth Grade in the Sanctuary each Friday at 8:45 AM. Each week, students are given this special time to focus solely on honoring God. The purpose of chapel is to allow students to:

Experience God's house
Understand the importance of praise and worship
Experience different genres of song and to glorify God
Begin a life of reverent worship in Church
Learn different scripture through the Arts
Experience a Biblical message in an age appropriate manner

Parents and guests are invited to attend and sit in the area behind the students. A message is given by a pastor or ministry leader. Students and guests sing songs, hear stories from the Bible and pray. Students may present a commemorative book to the school in honor of their birthdays or in honor of other people. Please contact Gemma Mursell if you wish to purchase a library book for this purpose.

The chapel program is led by a different grade once a month. It is requested that photographs not be taken during the class presentation. The class will remain after chapel to give parents an opportunity to take pictures.

Recognition Chapel is held once a quarter to honor accomplishments earned outside of school. Parents can submit a Student Recognition Accomplishment Form to the school office. The due dates to submit the recognition form and the dates of the student recognition chapels are:
