An Evening with Chris Renzema

Friday, September 4—The start of a school year has a way of pulling us in a hundred directions at once—new schedules, new faces, and the pressure to have it all figured out before the first exam. Before the semester picks up speed, we've set aside an evening to gather, listen, and reflect.

An evening with Chris Renzema is an invitation to begin the year with music that makes room for the whole of you—your faith and questions, your hope and weariness. A singer-songwriter known for honest, hymn-like songs about grace, doubt, and being found, Chris writes music that meets students where they are.

So come as you are, and bring someone with you! Whether you are returning to campus or stepping onto it for the first time, whether faith feels close or far off, there is a place for you—an unhurried evening of song, community, and a warm welcome into the year ahead.
