Religious Life

Religious life is a central part of Faith Primary School. Weekly chapel services are age appropriate and are conducted by Blue Ridge Chapel clergy or local pastors who come and share God's word with the students and teachers. Faith Primary School stresses discernment, not doctrine, and is inclusive of all cultural and religious traditions. Teachable moments, both inside the classroom and out, are used to foster in each student a love of God, a respect for others and their traditions, and a sense of each child’s self-worth.

Mission projects help inform the students of the needs of others in areas beyond their own community. Students have “adopted” a deployed soldier stationed in Iraq, sending letters, toiletries, sports equipment, books, and games to show their support during his deployment. School supplies, sports equipment and personal notes and pictures were also sent through Army chaplains when members of the U.S. Army began working to rebuild schools.

Fourth and fifth grade students at Faith Primary School are looked up to as leaders. These students are encouraged to display wise decision-making skills and to demonstrate leadership characteristics.
