Seranna Rowse

Seranna Rowse
My name is Seranna Rowse! I was born and raised in Jasper National Park, and have lived here in Calgary for the last 7 years. I met Jesus for the first time as a teenager, but really started walking with him when I was 18 in Los Angeles, where I spent just under 3 years at the LA Dream Centre in their leadership school. This is where I fell in love with outreach ministry, and the place where my passion to see young people love and pursue Jesus wholeheartedly began.
I have been working in Youth Ministry for just over three years now, and my husband and I currently oversee our local Church Youth ministry here in Calgary at C3 Church. One of the greatest honours of my life has been getting to work in next-gen ministry, and I am constantly in awe and humbled by the teenagers in our Youth group who live out their faith boldly and courageously. I am especially excited to see more young women rise up and step into their callings as leaders in every industry and to use their gifts to impact the kingdom.

HULVEY
Hulvey
Knowing God plays a central role as both a catalyst and medium in Hulvey’s personal and creative growth. The 24-year-old Brunswick, GA native’s music delves into themes of thankfulness, maturity and comfort that reflect the peace of mind he currently inhabits. In the five years since signing with Reach Records, Hulvey has released his debut, self-titled album, Christopher, to widespread acclaim and toured nationally –welcoming a season of newfound success filled with transformative moments. His reverence for God is inextricably linked to his upbringing in Southeast Georgia, where Hulvey was steeped in an all-encompassing church life. After being saved at age 4, his spiritual journey started to take form. From then on out, Hulvey made a conscious effort to seek God in all of his experiences and direct every fiber of his being to developing a deeper understanding of his Creator. In doing so, he naturally surrounded himself with people who have similar values, which led to a fortuitous run-in with a gentleman by the name of Doug. This alignment marked a pivotal turning point in Hulvey’s life when a bible verse resonated with him unlike any other, John 17:3 –“This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.” Hulvey went on to attend college before deciding to drop out and pursue a career in music full-time. And so far it has worked out for him. To date, he’s released a plethora of compelling singles, five EP’s and his aforementioned debut album, which made waves across the music industry and debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart, and #19 on the Top Rap Albums chart. 2023 was no different, evidenced by the runaway success of his immensely popular singles such as “Used By You,” “Love Like That,” “Fly Away,” and “Altar.” The latter was remixed by Grammy Award-winning R&B-pop star Ciara, and the original version peaked at #25 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs, with seven total weeks on the chart. Hulvey’s impressive versatility and ability to draw connections across the ever-growing musical landscape is a testament to the reach of faith-based rap. With more music and major moves on the horizon, he’s squarely positioned to bring people closer to God with his now-signature blend of nuance, effort, intentionality.
