���Ĵ�ý will host an evening with Christian artist Chris Renzema on Saturday, Oct. 4, at 7:30 p.m. during its 2025 Homecoming Weekend.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public, and ticket prices range from $20 to $35. They can be purchased at .

“We’re excited to create an environment for worship with Chris Renzema’s musical talents,” said Alicia Meyer, director of student involvement at ���Ĵ�ý. “His songwriting captures deep spiritual truth in earnest melodies that resonate with audiences of all ages and across multiple genres. The chance to welcome alumni and the general public during a homecoming concert is a rare gift.”

For Renzema, becoming an artist was a gradual yet inevitable process. Renzema was always drawn to writing and playing songs, but his hometown of Grand Rapids, Mich., didn’t have much of a music scene. After moving to Nashville in 2015 to pursue a career in music, he’s seen slow but steady success. Since then, the musician, songwriter and producer has released three albums: 2018’s “Be the Branches,” 2020’s “Let the Ground Rest” and 2021’s “Get Out of the Way of Your Own Heart.”

Renzema’s latest album, “Manna,” recorded in January at Nashville’s Sound Emporium, represents a culmination of everything he’s done so far. The album reflects on big questions while remaining both personal and accessible.

Renzema began touring regularly in 2019 and has since built a steady fan base, playing iconic venues such as Red Rocks and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. While Renzema has garnered numerous accolades, including being named on Pandora’s “Artist to Watch” list and earning a GMA Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year, it’s his dynamic live shows that have truly cemented him as a musician on the rise.

“Chris Renzema is one of my favorite artists, and getting the chance to see him at ���Ĵ�ý is like the best thing ever,” said Brianna Wolfe, a second-year  at ���Ĵ�ý. “Homecoming is about to be so fire!”
