Our school aims to be a professional seminary in which the primary
MAP OF VST................................................... 17 emphasis is on training for ministry, rather than a detached study of
religion. Faculty at VST are persons of deep personal Christian faith
rooted in the scriptures and the faith of the Church, and eager to interpret
the Gospel in a fresh and living way for contemporary life. Faculty are
dedicated church persons, and full and active members of a church.
Since VST is engaged in the preparation of persons for Christian ministry,
each faculty member has a sense of the mission of the church, and a
sense of vocation to prepare students to participate in that ministry and
mission. Faculty at VST care about our students and are concerned for
the spiritual, pastoral and academic development of all of them. Faculty
CONNECT members aspire to be good listeners, willing to consider contrary views,
and yet able to share their own faith and perspective with enthusiasm and
humility (Faculty Handbook, updated 2017).

At Vancouver School of Theology
we are called to form thoughtful, engaged
and generous disciples of Jesus Christ
for service to the church and the world.
Theological education combines the love of
scholarship, courage to take up the issues
of our time, and readiness to collaborate
with our local and global neighbours for
the good of God’s world. Together with
First nations communities and other faith
traditions, we engage issues of truth, justice
and spiritual growth.
The Rev. Dr. Richard R. Topping
Principal and Professor of Reformed TheologyYou can also read
