Williamson Student Life: Chapel Program

Chapel Program

"I found that obedience to the truth given to me
answered my deire to be shown the path for my life"
- I.V. Williamson, School Founder

As part of Williamson’s commitment to providing moral and religious training, a nondenominational religious service is held each weekday at 7:30 a.m. in the Chapel of the Main Building. Because Chapel is a vital part of the School’s program, all students must attend. Services emphasize moral and spiritual values presented from a Judeo-Christian perspective, and include speakers from the staff, alumni, student body, and community.
