Wilmore, KY — March 10, 2026 — Asbury Theological Seminary will host a three-night Tent Meeting on its Wilmore, Kentucky, campus April 16, 17, and 18, beginning at 6:30 p.m. each evening. The event, themed “Renewal for the People of God,” is free and open to the public.

Rooted in the outdoor camp meeting tradition that has shaped Wesleyan and Methodist renewal for generations, the gathering is designed to create space for worship, biblical teaching, and Spirit-led prayer. Seminary President Dr. David Watson said the event reflects both the institution’s heritage and its present mission.

“Tent meetings are a sacred tradition in the Wesleyan/Holiness movement—spaces where God has helped shape awakening and revival,” Watson said. “With this worship gathering, we are drawing on that rich heritage and inviting others to join Asbury Seminary as we seek spiritual renewal in our day.”

Each of the three evenings will address a distinct dimension of spiritual renewal. Thursday, April 16, will focus on renewal of personal connection with God; Friday, April 17, on the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit; and Saturday, April 18, on calling and mission. Each night will include praise and worship, preaching, and ministry prayer.

Three guest preachers are featured across the three nights: the Rev. Matt Reynolds of Spirit and Truth (Thursday), Dr. Kim Maas of Kim Maas Ministries (Friday), and Asbury Seminary Professor Dr. Luther Oconer (Saturday).

Attendance for the event is anticipated from Asbury Seminary students, staff, faculty, friends, as well as members of the broader Wilmore and Asbury University communities.
