Explorer’s Weekend 2024

Date: Thursday to Saturday, October 17th – 19th 2024

Venue: VST Campus

Do you feel a call to engage your faith more deeply?
Have others enthusiastically nudged you to embark on a journey of theological education?
Are you curious about what it’s like to be a graduate student at a collaborative theological school?

Then be an Explorer!


For three days, you will explore theological education at VST by attending class and worship, getting to know VST students, staff, and faculty, and engaging in personal-communal discernment time on VST’s beautiful UBC campus.

Your weekend of exploration includes participation (for free) in the 2024 Somerville Lecture series. This year’s lecturer is New York Theological Seminary President, Rev. Lakeesha Walrond (PhD). Her lecture and workshop are entitled An Invitation to Stretch: Reconstructing Our Theological Assumptions. Find out more at vst.edu/events.

If you are seriously considering a theological degree program, then take the next step in your discernment and register for this event!

Accommodations are available for anyone coming from away, along with some funding towards travel, if needed. For local explorers, taxis home after a long day are on VST.

Meals are provided for all explorers. On top of that, if you apply for a diploma or degree program over the course of the weekend, VST will waive the usual $75 application fee.

We want you here!
Registration Deadline: Sept. 24th
