The Spiritual Life program at North Hills Christian School exists to help students grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and live out their faith with purpose and joy. We believe education should grow the mind, body, and soul, not just academics.
Spiritual Life supports the broader mission of NHCS by:
- Equipping students to know Christ personally
- Fostering a biblical worldview that shapes how students live and serve
- Encourage spiritual growth through worship, prayer, Bible study, and service
- Providing Biblical Counseling to all students and staff, walking with them through real-life challenges with truth, wisdom, and grace.
Core Spiritual Growth Opportunities
Daily Prayer
Students begin each day grounded in prayer, inviting God into every part of their school experience.
Weekly Chapel
Chapel services are a key part of spiritual life. Students gather weekly for:
- Worship and reflection
- Age-appropriate biblical teaching
Guest speakers and student participation
These gatherings build community and deepen students’ faith.
Small Group Bible Study
Students explore Scripture through guided study time, helping them understand God’s Word and apply it to daily life.
Discipleship Lunches
The lunches connect older and younger students in a Christ-centered mentoring relationship. These monthly gatherings create space for students to slow down, build relationships, and practice living out their faith together.

During Discipleship Lunches, students:
- Share a meal together
- Pray for one another
- Encourage one another in their walk with Christ
- Build meaningful, cross-grade relationships rooted in faith
- Older students are given the opportunity to model spiritual leadership, while younger students are encouraged and supported by peers who are walking a little further down the path of faith. These lunches help reinforce that following Christ is not something we do alone, it happens best in community.
Special Spiritual Events

Global Mission Opportunities
Our high school juniors can participate in our annual international mission trip, such as service work in Costa Rica, where they share Christ’s love and grow in global understanding and servant leadership.
___________
At North Hills, spiritual life is not a program; it is the foundation of who we are. By grounding students in Scripture and surrounding them with Christ-centered community, we seek to prepare them to stand firm in truth and live out their faith in every season of life.
