Reason #19 -- Chapel

I thought it was time we re-visit the many reasons to attend St. Croix Lutheran Middle School.




Reason #19 -- Chapel. 


Take a look at the pictures below and you'll see why the chapel is truly one of the most beautiful spaces on campus. Heck, it's probably one of the most beautiful spaces in West St. Paul!




Dedicated in 2005, our chapel is the most prominent building on campus. The worship space features a "chapel in the round" design, fostering a greater sense of community and ensuring that every seat in the house is a "good" seat. Another interesting design element is the copper cladding that covers the exterior and lines some of the interior walls.



There's a lot of really neat symbolism behind the design of the space, and I could go on and on about it's beauty, but perhaps the most important thing for you to know is that our faith-based curriculum is rooted in the daily study of God's Word. Middle School students begin each and every day in prayer. Monday through Friday students attend Bible class, and on Friday, we have a chapel service designed especially for Middle School youth.

Rest assured -- regardless of where your child is at in his or her faith journey, the teachers and staff at St. Croix are prepared to disciple them in the ways of Christ.
