Southeastern University Cancels Classes as Multi-Day Worship and Repentance Service Breaks Out

by Emily Brown

Student-led worship and repentance has been ongoing at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida, prompting the school to pause classes to adapt to a spiritual moment that’s drawing comparisons to the spiritual outpouring that happened at Asbury University in 2023.

 

“We have no idea what is happening,” said Jonathan Rivera, SEU’s campus pastor. “We just know that something is happening.”The service started as part of a student conference being held at a nearby church this week. When author Jennie Allen concluded her message Wednesday morning, she invited the approximately 2,300 students to publicly confess their sins. For 15 minutes, students loudly called out things like pornography, fear, insecurity, anger, adultery,

even abortion.

 

“It was probably one of the wildest things I’ve ever experienced in my entire life,” Rivera said. “What it created wasn’t shame. It created this sense of freedom. Something broke in the room immediately.”

 

What followed was extended worship and altar ministry that university officials initially tried to accommodate by pushing back breakout sessions. Within hours, they canceled conference sessions entirely, then all classes.The gathering continued at the church from approximately until 10:30 p.m., when the university had to return the rented space. Leaders faced a decision: let the moment end or continue back in the campus chapel.

 

100When students returned to SEU’s chapel at midnight, 550 people were already waiting outside the chapel.

 

The worship service has continued without interruption since midnight Wednesday, with confession, Bible reading, prayer and testimonies.

 

“The students are leading all of this,” Rivera said. “Their energy, their hunger, they’re the ones leading the room.”

 

Students brought blankets, sleeping bags and pillows to remain in the chapel. Many chose not to return to dorm rooms less than 100 yards away. On Thursday morning, a woman drove six hours from Atlanta after watching the livestream because, according to Rivera, she felt she “needed to be present.”

 

The university canceled all classes Wednesday afternoon and again Thursday. Faculty, staff and administrators have joined students in the chapel, which holds 750-800 people.
