Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly,
teaching and admonishing
one another in all wisdom,
singing psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs,
with thankfulness
in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16
Through our Hymn of the Month Study, students build a treasury of biblical truth through learning the rich hymns of the Christian faith. Each month, students learn one classic hymn together while exploring its theology, history, and vocabulary. As a school community, we sing these hymns in chapel, in the classroom, and at school events. Families are invited to bring these hymns into their homes as well. Our hope is to give our children truth to believe, pray, sing, and cling to for the rest of their lives.
Below is the monthly hymn study schedule with links to a music video and information packet for each hymn that families can utilize at home.
