Chapel Program | Teays Valley Christian School

The TVCS Chapel program is the heartbeat of our school's spiritual life. Chapels provide an opportunity for our students of all ages to worship freely in a school environment. Many of our chapel services include a time of praise & worship followed by a teaching from one of our staff or a guest speaker. Continue reading below to see what our chapel programs are all about.

Elementary Chapel

Elementary chapels with our K-5 students occur weekly on Wednesday mornings.

We believe the family is the primary faith influence in the lives of children. The mission of our chapels is to partner with families in nurturing kids’ relationships with God, others, and the world around them through these times of worship.

There is always an opportunity for students to not just attend, but to participate. We do that so students learn to not just be hearers of the Word, but doers as well. Our time of worship involves practical applications of Biblical principles.

The theme for the 2024-2025 school year is “Follow”, with Luke 9:23-24 as our verse. We are taking a look at how we can follow God in our lives, and how we can be less and He can be greater. It is always great to see our students engaged in worship as we dig into the Word together.

Secondary Chapel

Grades 6th-12th meet together on a weekly basis for the most part. The structure of the chapel program begins with meetings/discussions involving the administration of the school and the pastoral team from the Bridge Church to develop themes that are relevant and age appropriate to develop students spiritually. The theme is discussed in a 4 week approach with the following model:

Week 1--Middle School students ONLY
Week 2--High School students ONLY
Week 3--Combined group; Middle School and High School
Week 4--Small groups led with various leaders; teachers, alumni, pastoral team members, community members. Groups are divided into age and gender groups to make a more intimate and engaging session.

An additional component of the secondary chapel program is our annual fall retreat in September. Students in grades 6th-12th are given the opportunity to spend an evening, overnight, and a full day of activities at Camp Appalachia designed to build stronger relationships with each other, the TVCS secondary staff as.well as administration, and most importantly our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The messages are typically offered by Bridge Church pastors, in-house staff, and occasionally, TVCS alumni. A general list of topics that are covered through the secondary chapel program include, but are not limited to the following:

The Great Commission
The Great Commandment
