Homecoming Weekend 2026

Mark your calendars for October 8–10, 2026, and join us for an exciting Homecoming Weekend at Faith! The celebration kicks off Thursday evening with our Friends of Faith Banquet at 6:00pm (registration info coming soon).

On Friday morning we will honor several alumni in our Faithful Servant Chapel, and the seminary will host a reception in the afternoon.

In the evening, join us for our women’s alumni volleyball game and men’s alumni basketball game.

Finally, Saturday will be full with our annual 5k run, a free financial planning seminar, men’s and women’s alumni soccer games, our homecoming market, homecoming games for our volleyball and soccer teams, and, of course, the ever-popular Ya’Gotta Regata!

It’s a weekend full of school spirit, reconnecting with friends, and celebrating what God is doing at Faith—you won’t want to miss it!

Newly Expanded Homecoming Market

The Faith Homecoming Market is expanding! With the City of Ankeny lifting previous exhibitor restrictions, this year’s market welcomes an even wider variety of exhibitors showcasing the hobbies, talents, and small businesses of Faith students, alumni, and friends.

Join us on Saturday from 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. on the Faith campus to shop unique products and enjoy homecoming festivities.
