Spiritual opportunities abound as we practice “Learning, Serving, and Sharing Christ.” All students take theology classes which are designed to meet the needs of young men and women. In addition, all students and staff attend chapel twice a week. Chapel services include a variety of worship forms, including a split chapel for boys and girls, a small group discussion setting, and our frequent contemporary style. Chapel and small groups are led by teachers, student groups, area pastors and youth leaders, and other special presenters.

Monday – Friday: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM.

Students are enrolled in eight classes, taking four each day, ABCD Block or EFGH Block. Classes are typically 85 minutes in length.

Along with the many activities that are offered, students will participate in Chapel every morning and evening.
