Public Lectures

Our mandate is to educate the whole people of God—and that includes the Christian community of Vancouver and beyond. We offer free public lectures by our own world-class faculty, and by visiting scholars, teachers, and authors from around the world.

We host two regular lecture series—Summer Lectures and the Laing Lectures—as well as special events throughout the year.

Most of our lectures are recorded and available as audio downloads through RegentAudio.com

All Things New: God's Program of New Creation

Douglas_moo

With Doug Moo

God’s purposes are as wide as the world he has created. The New Testament concept of “new creation” reminds us of these expansive purposes and shows that concern for the environment is part of our call as Christians.

Join us for this free Evening Public Lecture. Our lectures tend to draw large crowds, so plan to arrive early for a good seat.
