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
This year’s chapel theme is GRACE. God’s grace is so big that it covers every part of our lives and even every part of creation. The Bible talks about grace both as forgiveness and as the power that God works in us as we live out our faith in Jesus.
As Paul puts it in our theme verse: “The Lord said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me” (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Our hope is that each student, teacher, staff member, and community member who comes through Hillcrest this year encounters the transforming grace of Jesus. We invite you to join us on this journey through prayer and fellowship in the coming year.
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.
