Spiritual Life Goals
The School seeks to instil in each learner, a desire to serve God and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Our students should graduate as committed Christians grounded in the scriptures. We encourage our students to exhibit positive attitudes in their lives and to base all of their important decisions on God’s Word.
In addition to a full educational curriculum, Great Blessings conducts regular chapels and ensures weekly church service attendance for boarding students and encourages private devotions.
At Great Blessings, we seek to equip our students with a basic knowledge of the Bible and the ability to find principles for life in God’s Word. It is our conviction that a person, who knows the scriptures and can apply them to his or her situation, is well on his or her way to spiritual maturity.
The Scriptures clearly teach what it means to be a Christian – a disciple or follower of Christ. It is not simply a creed to believe or a code of conduct to follow, but it is a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ; a relationship which affects every value judgment made and every aspect of life, including relationships, moral choices, character, attitude, etc. It is our strong desire that every student at GB grows in their knowledge and love for God, and also grows in their personal relationship with God’s only begotten Son, Jesus Christ!
Devotions
Students in the Elementary and Secondary Schools are encouraged to set aside time each day for personal devotions.
Chapel
Each day there will be a morning chapel (Assembly). Weekly Bible studies will also be held. For the High School, these chapels may feature guest speakers, musicians, videos of Christian leaders and speakers from our own Parents Teachers’ Fellowship. Attendance is mandatory.
Sundays
Sunday is a day for rest and spiritual refreshment. All boarding students are required to attend service at the Living Faith Church, Gwarinpa and dorm devotions.
Day students and their families are also welcome to attend the Bible study on Sunday evenings.
