What is Revival?

College Church hosts two revivals a year in partnership with Olivet Nazarene University, one in February and one in September. Revival is a focused time of reflection and challenge that provides an opportunity for spiritual growth and oftentimes, important spiritual decisions are made. We invite guest pastors to preach, which also provides us an opportunity to hear from our Lord in a different way.

How Can I Be Involved?

JOIN US! Revival services are for everyone, not just our ONU students. We invite you to participate as much as you are able. We believe it will be a time of spiritual rejuvenation for you but it can also be a time of wonderful hospitality and connection between our congregation and the ONU students.

PRAY! Please pray for Jonathan Burkey as he brings the messages, pray for the worship teams as they lead, and pray that all those who come would receive renewal from the Holy Spirit. Pray for ONU students. You can pray remotely or in the sanctuary for the midweek morning and evening services. And, you can pray with those who have come to the altar at the close of the services.
