Spiritual Formation

Overview

Weekly chapels and worship coupled with daily prayers and devotions contribute to Westminster's mission to prepare students to serve as ambassadors for Christ. Westminster's faculty, staff and administrators are fully committed to supporting students and families in their faith by providing an excellent, reformed Christian education.

John Bishop, Westminster's director of spiritual formation, oversees the development of elementary, middle and high school chapels where a wide-range of faculty and staff, students, and guests provide worship and bring age-appropriate Bible messages. Read the blog below to learn how this year's theme verse, Jeremiah 17:7, influences the weekly messages. High school students also kick-off every school year with a week-long spiritual retreat that takes place in the mountains of Jasper, Georgia known as Warrior Week. Middle school students also enjoy GR8 Escape, a three-day spiritual retreat that takes place during the first few weeks of the school year.

Elementary school chapels embody Westminster's mission of "preparing hearts." Students are encouraged to serve their communities through "noisy offerings" and hands-on advocacy. The theme verse comes to life through the book, "Wandering Through WorldWonder," chapel mascot, engaging skits, and lively worship.

  • Watch Your Back

    by John Bishop, Director of Spiritual Formation, based on this week's MS/HS Chapel
    Imagine working all summer to earn a spot in a group. Maybe it’s a job, a competitive team, or even just a tight-knit circle of friends. You’ve made smart, strategic moves. You’ve prepared. You feel ready for the challenge. Then come two grueling days—an intense, high-pressure experience clearly designed to test and eliminate those who don’t measure up. But you push through.

    You give it everything you have. Finally, someone with authority pulls you aside and says the words you’ve been hoping to hear: “You’re in.” Your heart leaps. You did it. Relief and excitement flood in as you begin to imagine the benefits, the camaraderie, the recognition that comes with being accepted. But then, just as you’re settling into this moment of triumph, a seasoned member of the group sits down beside you. They glance around, lean in, and say quietly, “Hey, congrats on getting in… but just a heads up—watch your back.”
