Spiritually

At Harvest Christian School we are committed to providing a strong and vibrant spiritual atmosphere.  This aspect of our school is of utmost importance from which all other pursuits are grounded in.  In keeping to its inter-denominational vision, HCS will strive to instruct, inspire, and engage students in worship, God’s Word, prayer, and fellowship.  We believe that we have a fresh, unique vision and approach to presenting these times of worship and the Word in chapel and throughout each school day.  The virtues and benefits of a Spirit-filled life will be expressed to the students and exemplified by the teachers, staff, and administration.
