Spiritual Life Distinctives at Wake Christian

Perhaps as a parent, you’re concerned about your child not learning Christ-centered values in school. You’re worried about misaligned worldviews that could negatively influence your child’s heart and mind.

We understand that! This is why as a private Christian school, we work hard to instill an environment where God’s Word is taught and practiced.

Integrating a Biblical Worldview in Daily Living

At WCA, a Christ-centered worldview permeates every area of learning. We begin with a word of prayer for all events, such as a fine arts concert, athletic competitions, or even the start of classes daily. We also participate in events such as the National Day of Prayer, where students gather on the campus to pray for the school, families, the country, and its leaders. In addition, a culture of kindness, compassion, and love is felt throughout our day-to-day interactions.

Age-Appropriate Bible Lessons

We teach God’s Word in ways where lessons resonate from the youngest learners to our more mature high school students. For example, our kindergartners hear an illustrated story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, while our juniors and seniors dive deep into theology.

Small Group Settings

It’s important that students find a spiritual community to share concerns that are relevant to them. As part of our spiritual life initiatives, our older students have discussions about the Bible in all-girls or all-boys small groups. During these classes, they have the opportunity to gain insights from their peers who share their struggles as well as their victories.
Identity in christ icon

Forming an Identity in Christ

At WCA, we strive for students to understand that their identity is found in Christ, not in the world. A great example of how we put this into practice is our CORE classes for middle school, where students learn to put into action a God-centered worldview in daily life. These include topics such as social media use, friendships, or finding their identity in Christ.

Faith-Filled Activities

Spiritual life at WCA is vibrant, with many opportunities for all students to stay engaged inside and outside the classroom. Aside from weekly chapel service, we offer regular spiritual activities for every grade level.

Teacher Mentorship

Our teachers are more than educators — they’re mentors and encouragers deeply aligned with the Word of God.

Genuine care: Teachers take the time to get to know every student and see them as more than just a number. Each child feels supported because our faculty fosters open communication with parents to understand personal concerns that can impact how they’re doing in school.

Biblical discipline: Teachers extend the same grace to students as God gives to His people. However, they also instill authority in the classroom and command respect in a loving way.

Continuous growth: The WCA team is always discovering ways to equip teachers and staff to relate to things that matter to students. Some examples include continuing education opportunities for faculty and incorporating principles that are relevant in ministering to the hearts of the younger generation.

Because of Wake Christian, I have matured in my walk with Christ. The chapel services and the wonderful work done by our teachers and coaches have helped me see my true identity. My identity is found in Christ, not in the grades I make or the sports I play.
Esther Franklin, Class of 2024
My faith has definitely grown a lot since coming to Wake Christian. I have had a lot of trials in my life, but this school has taught me so much when I was losing faith in God. Going to chapel and talking to other students and teachers helped through it all so being at Wake Christian has helped me so much with my relationship with God.
