Every fall, Renewal Week invites NNU students to pause, reflect and renew their faith through a three-day season of worship, preaching and spiritual formation.
This year, we are also delighted to welcome Katie Rose Weissend, worship arts pastor at Olathe (KS) College Church of the Nazarene, along with Shannon & Morgan Seward, worship and youth pastors at South Salem (OR) Church of the Nazarene for a special evening of worship. Together, they helped lead worship at Nazarene Youth Conference 2026, where thousands of students and volunteers gathered around the theme “Wonder.”
NNU Renewal 2026 culminates in a community-wide Night of Worship, and we invite youth and young adults from across the Northwest Region to join us as we celebrate God’s faithfulness, reflect on all God is doing among this generation and look ahead with worship, gratitude and anticipation.
Friday, October 2 at 7:00 p.m.
NNU Brandt Center Auditorium
Local churches are encouraged to bring their students and participate on Friday night. To help make the evening even more meaningful, NNU will provide food and refreshments for registered youth groups and their leaders beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Brandt Center lobby.
We hope you’ll encourage your youth and young adults to join us for this special evening of worship, fellowship and spiritual renewal alongside the NNU student community.
