Chapel
What Is Chapel?
Ever feel like you need a break to breathe and recenter yourself? At Hillcrest Academy we built a 20 minute chapel into our school day for just that purpose. The entire school meets together to connect with each other and with God. Our daily chapels are something that sets us apart from other schools. Chapels are planned and led by a mix of students and faculty. We worship, sing, listen, laugh, reflect, and learn. It’s often a highlight of the day.
Our Chapel Theme
It’s more than a phrase. It’s a mindset. A mission. A way of life. Whether you’re on the court, in the lab, or in the classroom— we want to be a community known not just for excellence, but for Christlike character—rooted, but growing in Jesus, and producing fruit that will last.
Colossians 1:10 speaks directly to our mission: “Walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.” This verse gives us a roadmap for what it means to live faithfully—both inside and outside the classroom.
Small Groups are just one more way we’re growing into the people God made us to be.They’re made up of 6-8 students with one faculty leader. We’re with the same group for the school year, so we get comfortable and close. The purpose of the groups is to strengthen our spiritual walks with each other through accountability, support, topic discussion, mixing of ages and ideas. Of course, a whole lot of fun mixes in too! Whether it’s eating, playing sports, praying, discussing, planning parties and service projects, or enjoying a sleepover together, chapel small groups help build community.
