Spiritual Life
CCHS is a place where students can experience God on many levels. There are opportunities to dig deep into scripture and to participate in small groups, chapel and prayer for each other. This is key to who we are as a school. Everything we do is based on God’s word and principles. We desire that students grow to love the Lord more each and every day. Our biblical Expected Schoolwide Learning Result (ESLR) states: A CCS graduate will demonstrate an understanding of biblical knowledge and truth with the purpose of developing a personal, defendable relationship with Jesus Christ, resulting in a Christian world view. Here at CCHS, as it states in our ESLR, it is crucial that students know what they believe and why they believe it. Teachers and staff begin the day with devotions and we as a school begin our day with a group prayer. See you at the Pole, Spiritual Emphasis Week, Chapel, Bible classes and student-led worship are all examples of opportunities the students have to grow deeper in the Lord.

Chapel
Chapel at CCHS is weekly, beginning with worship that is student-led. A variety of speakers and programs are presented each week. Students participate in small groups facilitated by fellow students at certain times during the year. Students are often challenged to make spiritual decisions as they are prompted by the Spirit.

Bible Classes
The Bible Department at CCHS is taught by an active group of teachers who deeply desire to present curriculum that is student-focused and balanced with “meat” to provide the biblical knowledge, as per our ESLR, that is needed to help ground them in their faith. In recent years, CCHS moved from a grade-level driven scope and sequence to an interest-based, elective platform. Included in this offering is a Missions class that concludes with a trip to Jamaica. Students learn, with a real life reinforcement, what it means to be a missionary for our Lord.

Spiritual Emphasis Week
Two times a year, we have a Spiritual Emphasis Week at CCHS. For three days, students and staff participate in an awesome time of worship and challenge during chapel sessions. The speaker(s) focuses on a specific theme during the week. Students are often moved to make decisions or changes in their life that deeply impact their spiritual walk.

Student Worship Team
Our Dean of Students works weekly with a group of students who lead the chapel worship time. The team shares responsibility in both the vocal and instrumental areas. Songs are picked ahead of time so there is a theme of worship that is clearly planned to prepare students for the speaker or program. The team spends time in prayer for the worship experience and is excited to be an integral part of weekly chapel.
