The aim of the Chaplaincy is for every pupil entering the school to have a clear understanding of the character, claims and teaching of Jesus Christ by the time they leave. Our pupils come from a wide variety of backgrounds and represent a broad spectrum of understanding. Some arrive with a mature faith, others are just starting out and many have a bag load of questions.
Our Founder was a generous Christian man who wanted every pupil to encounter the Christian faith while at Kingham Hill. The Chaplaincy’s primary concern is to teach the Bible, model Christian living and encourage pupils to consider Christ for themselves.
Running alongside the Chapel services we have a variety of informal and optional meetings for the pupils. On these occasions we encourage pupils to think for themselves about the issues of Christian faith and belief. We enjoy discussion and debate on a whole range of issues - biblical and contemporary. Although by no means compulsory, pupils are encouraged to participate in the meetings and to contribute in particular ways to Chapel services.
In addition to the weekly meetings we have regular visits from Christian friends. Through speaking, singing, acting or sport they share the Christian faith with us. And then there are visits to local Christian events – churches, plays, films and youth groups. During the summer holidays, many students attend summer holiday camps / ventures…. there’s always a lot going on!
The Chaplaincy team is very happy to pray for you and your family. Please e-mail the Chaplain with any requests.
