Traditional Ways
Students are supported in practicing their tribal ceremonies and traditions, including access to inipi (sweat lodge) and visiting elders.
Spiritual Resources
A place to pray, reflect, and belong.
Faith and culture live side by side at FIS. Our full-time Chaplain, group activities, and community churches give every student room to grow — in their own way, at their own pace.
What's offered
Four ways students connect with the sacred.
Christian Worship
Sunday worship services and weekly fellowship are offered on campus in the Tea Room, with students welcome to invite friends.
Group Activities
Wednesday evening programs bring students together for music, food, conversation, and shared reflection across faiths.
Community Churches
Students are invited and welcome to attend any church in the Flandreau community. The Chaplain can help with rides and introductions.
Meet the Chaplain
Bill Britton
Chaplain & Religious Coordinator
At the request of the FIS student body, a full-time Chaplain is on campus to listen, pray with, and walk alongside students. Drop in during office hours, call after school, or come to a Wednesday evening gathering — no appointment needed.
