SPIRITUAL FORMATION PROGRAM
Going Deep with God is our top priority
The CCS Spiritual Formation Program is built on the framework of Intimacy, Community, and Action.
INTIMACY
- Learning to prayerfully read and meditate on the Scriptures
- Required Bible classes grades K-12
- Scripture-based, Spirit-filled prayer and intercession
COMMUNITY
- Kindergarten
- Developing a classroom community that cares for one another and prays and worships together
- Scripture memory –selected verses that K students can apply to their lives
- Elementary (1st-4th):
- Daily Chapel Service
- Emphasis on praise and worship, scripture memory with sign language, learning to love the Bible and understanding God’s love for each of them. Students meet in two groups (first/second; third/fourth grades) for thirty minutes each day
- Developing a classroom community that cares for each other, prays together and is a safe place for learning what it means to mature as young believers.
- Elementary (5th):
- Weekly Chapel Service
- Daily praise time followed by student led small prayer groups. The students actively learn how to ‘bear one another’s burdens’.
- Secondary:
- Weekly Chapel Service
- Each student is assigned a faculty mentor in their 1st semester at CCHS.
- 9-12th grade students take on leadership roles in the Secondary Chapel Program (Worship Team (music & drama), Chapel Prayer Team, speaking etc.)
- First Chapel and Last Chapel are tradition-filled events, beginning and closing the year with meaningful ceremonies with a deep spiritual and educational focus
ACTION
- Elementary service projects that help younger students develop a heart for the lost and less fortunate in their own communities and around the world.
- Various missions opportunities (mercy-service, justice and evangelism), culminating in stateside and overseas mission trips in the Junior and Senior years respectively
- Developmental and progressive training in personal ministry skills, beginning with praying for others and culminating in teaching a Bible study, scriptural intercession on behalf of others, introductory Biblical counseling, etc.)
- Thorough and progressive training in Biblical worldview and defense of the faith through honorable dialogue
