Spiritual Life & Chapel

At Vista Ridge Academy, faith isn’t something we save for one class or one day of the week. It is woven into the everyday life of our school.

We want students to know that God is present in their learning, their friendships, their questions, their challenges, and their celebrations. Through prayer, worship, Scripture, service, and relationships, students are encouraged to grow in their understanding of God and discover what it means to live out their faith.

Our goal is not simply to teach students about Jesus, but to help them know Him, trust Him, and recognize His purpose for their lives.

Each school day begins with circle time, giving students an opportunity to slow down, connect with one another, and begin the day with devotion and prayer.

These moments help set the tone for our day. Students hear Scripture, reflect on God’s Word, share, pray together, and prepare their hearts and minds for the learning ahead.

Prayer is a natural part of our school community. Students pray for one another, with one another, and with their buddies, learning that faith is something we experience together.

Every Friday, our school community comes together for chapel.

Chapel gives students and staff the opportunity to worship, hear God’s Word, sing, pray, and reflect together as a school family. These gatherings help us celebrate what God is doing in our community and remind us that we are part of something bigger than ourselves.

Throughout the year, we also set aside special opportunities to grow together in faith, including our Week of Prayer. This special time brings our school community together for intentional worship, reflection, prayer, and encouragement as we focus our hearts on God and His Word.

Vista Ridge Academy is supported by our constituent churches, Boulder Adventist Church, Chapel Haven Adventist Church, and Northglenn Hispanic Adventist Church, whose partnerships are an important part of our school community.

Our pastors are involved in the life of our school and support students, staff, and school activities throughout the year. Their presence helps strengthen the connection between our school, our churches, and the families we serve.

Students also have opportunities to visit our constituent churches and participate in church services. These experiences help students see that their faith extends beyond the school campus and that they have a place within a larger faith community.

We believe faith grows when students have opportunities to live it out.

Through prayer, service, church involvement, caring for others, and everyday acts of kindness, students learn that following Jesus is about more than what we believe, it is about how we live.

Our Eagle Way values of Christ-Centered, Honor, Exploration, Responsibility, Integrity, Service, and Heroism give students a shared language for putting their faith into action.

We want our students to become people who notice others, serve generously, choose what is right, and have the courage to live according to their convictions.

Every student is on a unique faith journey. We want to create a space where students can ask questions, grow in their understanding of Scripture, experience God’s love, and discover how their gifts can be used to serve others.

At Vista Ridge Academy, we believe your child is picked for a purpose.

We are grateful to partner with families and churches as students grow in faith, character, confidence, and purpose.
