Ƶ Worship Summit
Every year, we invite the Pepperdine community to come together for praise and worship at the Ƶ Worship Summit.
Since the inaugural event in 2021, this has become a spiritually powerful, tone-setting event of music, prayer, and preaching where we express our Christian mission and offer our school year to God.
The caliber of artists, speakers, and performers has been stellar. See the list of past Worship Summit guests who have blessed us with their God-given talents over the years. Watch the Worship Summit and 2024 highlights.

Worship Summit 2025
Featured Performers and Speakers
Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes
For as long as Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes can remember, they’ve both loved Jesus, had a heart for worship, and been passionate about entering into God’s presence. Their calling to worship propels them in life, unites them in marriage, and is unquestionably felt through their music. As a couple, their ministry is simply a reflection of what they hold most dear: knowing Jesus and helping others know Him too.
Longing to create spaces for intimate worship, their hearts are clear: “When we worship, we’re stepping into the very thing we were created for—connecting to God.” It’s the core of their mission. Their goal isn't merely to perform on platforms or play concerts at venues. It's to draw near to their Heavenly Father and invite everyone around them to do the same. Becoming voices beyond their singing ability, Carnes and Jobe exemplify how worship is an all-encompassing journey, not limited to conferences or Sunday mornings but deeply woven into the fabric of everyday life. Their awards and accolades speak to their talent and gifting, but in the end, they aren’t the reason for what they do. Their motive has been and always will be Jesus.
Francis Chan
Francis Chan has been a pastor for over thirty years. He is a New York Times–bestselling author of several books, including Crazy Love, Letters to the Church, and Until Unity. He and his wife, Lisa, have been married for thirty years and coauthored You and Me Forever. Currently, Francis is in Northern California teaching and discipling the next generation of pastors and leader.
United Voice Worship
United Voice Worship (UVW) was formed in 2017 as a diverse group of Jesus followers passionate about honoring God through song and seeing people come together as one. Their hearts for worship and intentional desire to “bridge life together” has set this a cappella Christian music ministry apart as it is uniquely postured to influence every generation of humanity to live out the “agape” love of Jesus. UVW comprises worship pastors and praise leaders from various locations including Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. The group has recorded three albums, streaming on all major platforms, and traveled the country since 2017.
WAVES WORSHIP
WAVES WORSHIP is a homegrown worship movement at Ƶ in Malibu, California. A collaboration between students, staff, and alumni, WAVES WORSHIP is a reflection of the move of God within this generation that aims to capture the songs God is singing over the Pepperdine campus community and the heartcries the community is singing back to Him. Marked by purity, truth, and intimacy with the heart of the Father, WAVES WORSHIP is a family overflowing with unlimited creative expression for this generation to authentically encounter Christ.
