Spiritual Life
Chapel
The Immanuel chapel experience is truly a highlight and central focus of attending Immanuel. Twice weekly, students in grades 7-12 join together for a time of worship and teaching that serves as a catalyst for their spiritual development. The Worship Fundamentals class helps create an environment in which students are free to worship through song in both energetic and introspective manners. The chapel band is comprised of students with a heart for worship who strive to lead the student body closer to the heart of Christ through current, modern praise and worship songs. Our outstanding chapel speakers, selected from area churches and Christian organizations, teach from the Word of God in practical and meaningful ways, challenging the students to grow in their faith. Monthly all-worship chapels are held, with an opportunity for students to participate in communion and a time for worship, praise, introspection and prayer. Each year, the students experience two Spiritual Emphasis weeks, in the fall and spring, in which extra time is set aside to hone in on God’s Word and applications of His teachings.
“Shout to the Lord, all the earth; break out in praise and sing for Joy!” Psalm 98:4
Community Service Requirement
Immanuel Schools’ mission is to equip students to serve God and neighbor with mind, body, and soul, based on a Christ-centered education. High School students at Immanuel are required to complete 40 hours of service as part of their graduation requirement. An incoming sophomore, junior, or senior student will be required to complete a total of 10 hours per year of attendance at Immanuel. In collaboration with Bible classes, students will be provided multiple opportunities to serve outside of the normal activities. We feel that it is vital to the growth and development of a student at Immanuel to glorify God in serving our neighbors and communities.
