Speak at Evensong

Evensong is a reflective gathering at Innovate Academy, inviting scholars into prayer, Scripture, and quiet contemplation at the close of the day. We welcome pastors, ministry leaders, and thoughtful community voices who desire to guide scholars through readings, reflection, or testimony rooted in the Christian tradition. If you have a heart for forming young people in faith, wisdom, and reverence, we invite you to partner with us by participating in Evensong. Previous speakers have included:
