Shaping Lives of Eternal Significance in the Auditorium: The Giving Hearts Day Focus
Giving Hearts Day is a regional fundraising drive for local non-profits. Hillcrest is raising funds for an auditorium enhancement on the upper school campus this year. This room is a primary place where faith formation and faith expression happen. Below are a few reasons this is the focus for the fundraising campaign.
A Stage for Growth and Mentorship
Theatre, Music, and Chapel: A Trifecta of Spiritual and Personal Development
The auditorium serves as a crucible for creativity and expression in theatre and music. Students at Hillcrest Academy find themselves immersed in an environment where their artistic talents are nurtured under the guidance of dedicated mentors. These experiences are more than just extracurricular activities; they are foundational moments where students learn the value of communication, teamwork, and self-expression rooted in their faith in Christ, all within the auditorium.
The chapel program, another cornerstone of Hillcrest's auditorium, offers a sanctuary for big questions and exploration toward growth in Christ. Here, students gather to delve into the teachings inside the Bible, engage in thoughtful reflection, and join in worship. This consistent rhythm of gathering is not just a routine; it's a journey of faith, walked together.
Leadership and Discipleship: Students at the Forefront
Hillcrest Academy stands out for its emphasis on student-led initiatives in spiritual formation. Through small groups, huddle prayer groups, and special events like prayer days and worship nights, students guide their peers in a shared enterprise in sharing their faith. The worship intern program, in particular, exemplifies this leadership, as students actively participate in leading worship services, thereby reinforcing their commitment to their church communities and their own spiritual growth.
The auditorium at Hillcrest is the heart of these activities. It's where students step into leadership roles, guiding their classmates in spiritual formation and discipleship. It's a place where faith is celebrated and deepened, where students learn about Christ and live out His teachings.
Enhancing the Auditorium
A Call to Action
Recognizing the pivotal role of the auditorium in student life, Hillcrest is embarking on a mission to enhance this vital space. The Giving Hearts Day fundraiser, set for February 8th, is a clarion call to all who believe in Hillcrest's mission. The goal is to transform the auditorium into a more accommodating space where more students can experience the joy of performance and the depth of discipleship.
This fundraiser is more than just a financial campaign; it's an investment in the lives of students who are being shaped for lives of eternal significance. By enhancing the auditorium, Hillcrest is ensuring that future generations of students will have a place where their faith can flourish, their talents can be honed, and their leadership skills can be developed.
