Mark your calendars for September 17-19, 2026, and join us on campus as we proudly revive a cherished tradition that has shaped our campus and encouraged ministry leaders for many years: the Minister’s Renewal Institute (MRI)!

This year’s institute holds a special significance as it coincides with the 2026 Church of God Oklahoma General Assembly, creating a truly unique opportunity for shared learning. Grounded in our Wesleyan perspective, our 2026 theme—Character and Competence: Challenges in Ministry Since the First Century—will explore the timeless qualities of effective ministry leadership required to navigate an ever-changing world.

We are honored to welcome Rev. Dr. Cliff Sanders and Rev. Bill Search as our keynote speakers for this year’s event. Whether you are serving on the front lines of pastoral leadership or preparing for future ministry, this gathering is designed to help you step away for intentional fellowship, theological study, and mutual encouragement so you can return to your calling refreshed and inspired.
