DISCIPLESHIP AND PATRIOTISM

Christian Discipleship

Instruction in Biblical knowledge and Christian discipleship is a core component of the daily routine at Word of Faith Academy, as Principles of the Christian Faith are taught daily. In addition to this daily lesson based upon the oracles of God, each Wednesday morning, from 8:10-8:50 a.m., students are expected to attend and actively participate in Chapel. Students are expected to exemplify the Christian principles learned through daily teaching and
Chapel in their daily lives.

As a continued part of Christian discipleship, students are expected to exemplify patriotism to their country and are required to participate in flag ceremonies, The Pledge of Allegiance, the singing of The Star-spangled Banner, and Pledge to the Christian Flag.
