UNW Chapel

To kick off Homecoming week, Heidi Anderson- a 2010 graduate from UNW--shares her story of God's amazing work in her life of healing and thriving.  Heidi is an author, speaker, and today encourages our students with the promise of Romans 8:28, which ensures that "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him."

Dr. Glenny has been a professor at UNW for over 20 years and leads us through Galatians 1:11-24.  He shares how Paul develops credibility by sharing his testimony, which reveals that Jesus shared the Gospel with him--not man. 

President Hoornbeek shares his personal story of coming to faith and how God can redeem people from broken families, broken relationships and sin in the most creative and miraculous ways.  

AJ Swoboda is a nationally-renowned speaker, podcaster and author from Eugene, Oregon.  He claims that Jesus "ruined his life" (in a good way) by getting into all of the facets of his life.  "The sign that grace is working in your life is when you give permission to let Jesus talk to you about the hard stuff." 

Brett Toney--a UNW alum and lead pastor at Westview Church--shares his story of how a tragic accident brought him closer to God's grace.  

Pastor Chris compares Christians living for the approval of man instead of the approval of God, reinforcing God's immense love for us.  

Pastor Chris preaches from Galatians 1:6-9, highlighting Paul's astonishment at the Galatian people.  To add to the Gospel is to weaken the Gospel.  

Welcome to the first chapel of the 2024-25 school year, where Pastor Chris kicks off the season of UNWavering Grace with Galatians Chapter 1.  

Listen in as we celebrate our spring '24 graduates with reflections from President Hoornbeek, Dr. Sommers, and student speaker, Abigail Thelen.
