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, Psalm 1:3, influences the weekly messages. High school students also kick-off every school year with a week-long spiritual retreat that takes place in the beautiful mountains of Jasper, Georgia known as Warrior Week.
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.

Be Prosperous
What is true wealth? Can a surplus of possessions truly bring us contentment and joy? Certainly, there’s a point at which getting another T-shirt no longer brings the kind of fulfillment it once did, right?Read More
What is success? Can a case full of trophies create in you a true sense of self-worth? Will a louder applause ever fill your need to be known and seen? Certainly, there’s a point at which being noticed and celebrated will cease to be enough to heal your insecurities. And if you leave yourself open to receive the praise of others, haven’t you also left yourself vulnerable to their criticisms? Maybe it’s not wise to measure your success in terms of the world’s standards of approval.
What is prosperity? In Psalm 1:3 we’re promised that we can prosper, like a tree planted by streams of water who bears fruit and stays green. Is prosperity measured in material possessions and status alone?
In scripture we are shown examples of people, like Solomon, who were prospering by the world’s standard and yet in Ecclesiastes declared that everything the world has to offer is meaningless. Or, Job, who had and then lost and then got back tremendous wealth and status only to conclude that the true value was in knowing God and trusting His will. Or, Hannah, who once she finally received the fulfillment of her highest prayer in her son Samuel, did not selfishly keep and cherish him, but instead gave him freely back to the Lord.
Westminster Christian School, located in Palmetto Bay, Florida, is a private, college-preparatory school for children from preschool through twelfth grade.
