Spiritual Emphasis

Spiritual transformation is a lifelong adventure and journey captained by the Holy Spirit. In our weekly chapel gatherings, our aim is to join that journey focusing on God’s story as revealed in the Holy Scriptures, and in the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. Chapel is an integral part of how we do life at Horizon Christian School. Each week students have a unique opportunity to gather together, worship God in song, and grow in their understanding of the Lord and God's story and His purposes for us. 


At Horizon, we make every decision through the lenses of faith, education, and relationships. Faith is the cornerstone of our approach, influencing all aspects of the school experience, from classrooms to extracurricular activities. Students participate in Bible classes and weekly Chapels, with Biblical principles woven into all subjects to build a cohesive Christian worldview. This commitment to faith shapes our values, behaviors, and relationships with others. We nurture the whole person, guiding students to live out their faith with integrity and purpose. This focus ensures spiritual growth alongside academic excellence, fostering an environment where personal and academic development thrive.

Middle School Chapel begins with a mixer and announcements, worship and singing, and concludes with a lively speaker. Our chapels are designed to challenge and encourage middle school students at a pivotal time of growth and development. As they learn and grow in Biblical principles, these impact their faith, education, and relationships.

Our 6th-8th grade small groups are a unique feature of our middle school chapel. Once a quarter, Donuts and Discipleship sessions take place. Here, students enjoy delicious donuts in a safe, casual, same-gender group setting and are free to ask questions about faith and pressing middle school issues. 

Our weekly Chapel gatherings for 9th-12th grade students offer a unique opportunity to celebrate our core vision of our school: faith, education, and relationships. Our chapel schedule includes student-led worship, fun announcements, student honors, dynamic speakers, and testimonials. These gatherings provide a safe space to address the challenges facing our students, families, and our school community while also offering a time for community prayer. Students are built up in their faith and taught Biblical principles about their relationship with God and sharing the Gospel. 

Our High School Worship Team practices before school 2-3 days per week. 

Students are involved in all aspects of chapel including: 
• Worship (Vocal & Instrumental)
• Sound
• Lighting
• Video & Video Editing
• Announcements & Public Speaking
• Film 

The ownership students have over chapel not only strengthens and enhances chapel but it helps develop skills, talents, and gifts in our students.

 

Our Service Projects are a distinctive aspect of Horizon Christian Elementary School and they occur when a group of students feel prompted by the Lord to serve others locally, nationally, or internationally. Students meet with the principal to discuss what they want to raise money for and begin the month long project. To date, students have raised nearly $100,000 for people in need. 

At Horizon Christian Middle School our desire is to build into students an awareness of the needs that exist in the world around them. Students are put in groups, led by teachers and parents, who facilitate discussion, prayer, and opportunities to serve the community. These projects become truly transformative for students as they begin to see the impact of their efforts and the blessings received by those to whom they are serving.

Horizon Christian High School provides hands-on opportunities to serve our community and abroad. Students serve others through participation in service projects in the classroom, athletic teams, clubs, all-school serve days and missions trip outreaches. Horizon Christian High School's approach allows students multiple options each year to serve locally and around the world.

Mission Trips
Our mission trips provide students with the perspective of what life is like for other students around the world while offering an opportunity to serve.
