Summer Programs

“What drew me to Regent was the unique offering of theological training compacted into two weeks. Regent provided not only a brilliant education at the hands of world-class academics, but one rooted in a transformative community, continually reflecting the love of Christ. Spending two weeks surrounded by the beauty of BC only added to the depth of Spirit-filled restoration. As a Manhattanite, I didn’t think I had room in my heart for another city, but Vancouver captured my affections and I intend to make Regent a regularly scheduled summer event!”

“I must say I really enjoy spring and summer school, though I think the fall and winter terms are fantastic too. I am fascinated by the students who show up in summer. People who would willingly burn a week or two of vacation time to be a part of this unique environment are quite amazing. Pastors wanting to dig deeper, business people wanting a broader theological worldview, stay-at-home parents wanting to further their learning, all alongside chumps like me. Never seen a student body quite like it.”

“Our week in Vancouver was an unforgettable treasure: we were immersed in a simple yet inspiring book study of the Psalms, taught by Dr. Waltke. Every morning we studied Scripture deeply and then worshipped with the gathered Regent community. Every afternoon we enjoyed long walks along the beach or in the mountains and considered what new things God was calling us to. The whole experience was intellectual and spiritual refreshment combined with marriage retreat that we desperately needed after a hard year of service in Burundi.”

“Compared to the winter and fall semesters, summer term provided me with an opportunity to study in a different way. Normally I’m juggling different types of commitments week by week, but for these two-week blocks I was able to spend time dwelling deeply in an area of study. Summer school created a space in which I could immerse myself in a course, sit under a wise teacher, join with a group of fellow learners, and then begin to imagine deeply how things might look different in my life.”
