Courageous Creativity
Renew 2026
A Gathering for Dreamers, Believers & Change-Makers
Join us for the RENEW, the yearly gathering where visionaries, pioneers, and change-makers explore the intersection of gospel and culture. RENEW is a two day gathering for pastors, creatives, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders allowing their faith to take visible form through beauty, leadership, and action. This year, we will explore Courageous Creativity: what does it take to cultivate a bold faith that shapes culture?
We honor the work that’s come before us, but we’re committed to forging a bold new path forward. If you have a vision for a truly universal Church, this is the event to bring it to life.
Join us on this journey of reinvention and renewal.
