Feeling a nudge to explore where God might be calling you next?
Take a meaningful step on your faith journey by joining us as a VST Explorer!
Explorer’s Weekend is a unique opportunity for those who are seriously discerning theological education to:
- Sit in on real theology classes
- Connect with VST faculty, students, and other discerners
- Reflect your calling deeply through both personal and communal discernment
- Discover what it’s really like to be a student at a theological school committed to showing up—in community, in justice, and in faith.
Last year, we welcomed 19 discerners from the US and Canada to the Explorer’s Weekend. This year, you might be one of them!
The 2025 VST Explorer’s Weekend includes participation (for free) the 2025 Somerville Lecture. This years lecturer is Sarah Miles, an author whose books include Take This Bread: A Radical Conversion; Jesus Freak: Feeding Healing Raising the Dead, and City of God: Faith in the Streets. She served as Director of Ministry at St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco for ten years and is the founder and director of The Food Pantry.
Her lecture is titled Solidarity Forever: Faith and Politics. and workshop titled The Psalms as Freedom School. Find out more at vst.edu/events (more information coming soon).
Meals are definitely provided for all explorers, and we provide accommodation and travel support for those who need them!
Come and see where the Spirit might be leading you.
We want you here!
