DEVOTION & CHAPEL

Daily Devotion and Weekly Chapels are a defining element of Student Life at SOECA. This is where spiritual growth and true connection happens – together.

One of the greatest prides that SOECA take in its development of the whole child is the opportunities to gather as a school for devotion daily and chapel each week. From our youngest students (6 weeks) to our oldest (8th grade), from our educators to our leaders, everyone participates in intentional planned moments of worship designed to help everyone grow in Christ. Devotion leaders include our head of school, principals, and our educators. 

Our weekly chapels are held by our school Chaplain Rev. Stephen Palmer for our Early Learning Academy and Preparatory Academy Scholars. In our efforts of continued partnership with our families, parents and caregivers are encouraged to attend.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." - Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

This scripture encourages us to focus on positive character traits and to strive to embody them in our daily lives.  These virtue words will serve as a guide for our personal growth and development as a school.
