Equipping Students to Impact their World
Daily Bible classes, weekly chapel services, annual missions trips, continual service opportunities, and Christian clubs help our faculty and staff connect with students to impact others through the Gospel and for the Kingdom of God.
A Ministry of Equipping
The ministry of equipping is done in the context of relationships. The Student Ministries Department helps organize people and programs at CVCA to this end. Our Student Ministries staff also provides a ministry of availability to meet with students through their time at CVCA.
Our goal is that students would come to love God with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength; and then be moved to love others through:
Christian Clubs and Organizations
Service Projects
Connections Groups and Houses
Worshipful Community
Every Thursday during Chapel, CVCA faculty, staff, and students come together to worship, study God’s Word, pray, and participate in musical praise. It is a reminder amidst the busyness of the school week to set our hearts and minds on the things above (Colossians 3:2) and to exalt Jesus Christ as a community.
Our goal for our Chapel services is that our community would have the same heart as the King David when he wrote, “Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together” (Psalm 34:3).
2025-2026 Chapel Banner: Upside-Down Kingdom
Each school year, we select a book of the Bible to study throughout the year during chapel. This year, we will focus on Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), with special emphasis on the Beatitudes. Our banner’s tagline this year is “Upside-Down Kingdom.” This highlights the idea that the priorities of Jesus’s kingdom often contrast with the ways of the world. In Matthew 5-7, His teachings turn conventional wisdom upside down, redirecting our focus back to Him. Whether it pertains to money, forgiveness, or anxiety, Jesus offers a way of living that challenges societal norms.
We pray that our students will thoughtfully consider His teachings and strive to live as members of His Upside-Down Kingdom.
