Student-led Renewal: It’s more than just a chapel service

Carlee Colvard, Assistant Editor


Student-led Renewal was a time for students to hear their peers’ stories, but ultimately it was a time for everyone to hear the greatest story ever told — the Gospel

Chapel took on a different role as students were able to hear from their friends about different stories in the Bible and how those stories point to Christ and can be applied in a college setting. 

The week involved students telling the story of Jesus through different media, such as music, art and literature, along with sermons. 

Here’s how Student-led Renewal impacted some students.

What impacted me the most was the different ways that the story of the life of Jesus was told and how moving it was through the dancing, painting and spoken word. It all spoke truth of the Gospel.

Getting to write a song based solely on Scripture was really cool. I just let God write it through me because I didn’t know how to write it on my own. Being involved with different people and different talents and coming together as a community to display our talents for Jesus was an awesome experience.
