Faith, Purpose & Service at Massanutten
Weekly Chapel and Religious Life at MassanuttenFounded in 1899 within the Christian tradition, Massanutten Academy continues to honor that heritage while welcoming students from many faith traditions, cultures, and backgrounds.Weekly Chapel is part of The Massanutten Way and our commitment to educating the whole person. It gives students and faculty time to step away from the pace of Academy life, gather as a community, and reflect on questions of character, conscience, faith, purpose, leadership, and service.Through messages grounded in our Christian heritage, students explore enduring themes including honesty, courage, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, responsibility, and service to others.Our purpose is not to compel belief. We respect the conscience of every student and encourage young people to think seriously about what they believe, the principles that will guide their lives, and the responsibilities they have toward others.
Our historic motto captures that purpose:
Non Nobis Solum — Not for Ourselves Alone.
