SPIRITUAL LIFE
Our inclusive Christian community is foundational to the FRA mission, and spiritual life is woven into each student’s journey. In classrooms, on the field, and throughout daily life, our goal is to create environments, foster relationships, and build meaningful experiences so that our students can grow in their faith.
Through chapel, devotions, Bible studies, retreats, mission trips, and service opportunities, we want our students to know they are loved by Jesus. We seek to create a community where our students see and respond to the needs of others on our campus, in our city, and across the world.
Guided by our faculty and staff, we mentor our students as they explore their faith, ask meaningful questions, grow in their understanding of God, and are equipped to impact the world around them.
Lower School
Faith is joyfully woven into everyday life for our youngest learners in age-appropriate and meaningful ways. From teacher-led morning devotions, known as “Bible Blitz,” to hands-on service projects, students begin to understand their value in God’s eyes and recognize how Jesus is at work in the world around them. A special highlight comes when each class, from first through fourth grade, leads chapel, giving students the opportunity to share God’s truth, build confidence, and take ownership of their growing faith.
Middle School
Middle school is a pivotal time for spiritual growth and identity formation. Students are encouraged to explore their faith more deeply and discover who they are in Christ. Chapel services and daily devotions provide space for reflection, learning, and connection. Bible enrichment classes and service opportunities help students move from belief to action. Through leadership roles and shared experiences, students begin to see how their faith shapes both who they are and who they are becoming.
Upper School
Upper school students are challenged to think deeply, lead boldly, and live out their faith with courage and compassion. Chapel and daily devotions, often led by peers and faculty, offer powerful moments of reflection, testimony, and truth. Biblical and theological studies courses provide a strong foundation for exploring life’s big questions and deepening understanding of God’s word. Through service, study, and spiritual leadership, students cultivate a faith that is not only personal but purposeful, ready to make an impact on the world around them.
