Spiritual Formation

chapel middle school

Students knowing God and who they are in Him is our top priority. We believe this is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). Students don’t simply learn about God, but they learn to walk with Him. Our Spiritual Formation Framework guides us as we provide students with a robust Bible curriculum, Biblically-integrated classrooms, encounter-focused chapels, practical faith experiences and service projects, spiritual camps, Disciples, voluntary intercessory prayer, and much more! Our students learn to live a faith-filled life as a core part of the education process at SCS.

Spiritual Formation:
Growing in Faith and Purpose

At Southlands Christian Schools, spiritual formation is a vital part of the student experience, shaping both hearts and minds to glorify God in all areas of life. Through intentional opportunities for worship, prayer, service, and biblical study, students are encouraged to deepen their relationship with Christ and discover their God-given purpose.

Daily and Weekly Spiritual Growth Opportunities

  • Bible Classes: Students engage in a dynamic Bible curriculum that introduces them to the storyline of the Bible growing their faith and knowledge of God's word and ways. Our goal is to equip them to navigate today’s culture and contemporary issues with a Christ-centered perspective.
  • Weekly Chapel Services: A time of community worship and inspiring messages, chapel services bring students together to grow in their faith and connect with God.
  • Disciples and Intercessory Prayer: These foster discipleship and prayer, encouraging students to support and grow alongside their peers in faith.

Special Events and Spiritual Milestones The school year begins with a powerful school-wide Spiritual Impact Week. Our elementary students experience and engage in a week of special chapels on campus while our middle school and high school spend time at a spiritual retreat, offering students a chance to bond, reflect, and set the tone for the year through worship and devotion. Throughout the year, students participate in special events focused on worship, prayer, and service, reinforcing the values of servant leadership and spiritual growth. These experiences help students live out their faith in meaningful ways, both on and off campus.

A Worldview-Focused Bible Program Our high school Bible program is uniquely designed to be relevant to today’s culture, empowering students to think critically about their beliefs and understand their identity in Christ. By exploring Scripture through a worldview lens, students learn to see their role in God’s greater plan and are prepared to defend their faith in a complex world.

Transforming Lives Through Spiritual Formation At Southlands Christian Schools, our mission is to connect students with God, helping them understand their identity in Christ and begin or deepen their spiritual journey. Spiritual formation is woven into every aspect of campus life, creating an environment where students grow academically, emotionally, and spiritually.
