Latest Events
Project Shalom
In the Bible, the word shalom “is most commonly used to refer to a state of affairs, one of well-being, tranquility, prosperity, and security,” a perfect state of circumstances. “Shalom is a blessing, a manifestation of divine grace.” (click here) With this initiative, we are hoping to promote mental and emotional wellness among the Chinese immigrant community beginning with the Greater Vancouver Chinese immigrant churches.
For details, please refer to the website: https://projectshalom.ccstvan.ca/

Student Sharing
  • Holistic Reflection
    Ying Zhang
    DipCS student
  • 'Holistic Health of Servant Leaders' was the first course I chose after officially enrolling in the diploma program, and it has been the most relaxed and enjoyable course. The four precious days of lessons skillfully blended theology with artistic creation, allowing us to deeply engage in a comprehensive reflection on faith and life in the depths of our souls. Through clay sculpture creation, I reinterpreted and experienced how God reshapes, breaks, refines, and renews our lives. He always reveals His love and faithfulness to us, transforming a dim, rebellious, and decaying life by removing countless impurities, and revitalizing it with true vitality—turning it into a vessel that can fully trust, obey, and be used by Him.
  • In this era, the most luxurious existence is to continuously become a person who is healthy in body, mind, and spirit throughout the course of life, to be a truly free person. But all of this can only be achieved by being deeply rooted in the truth of Christ, grounded in the faithful presence of God.
  • Deconstruction and Reconstruction
    Passion Cheung
    MDiv. student
  • In the 'Holistic Health of Servant Leaders' class, I am grateful for our principal’s teaching, which helped me understand the concept of deconstruction and reconstruction. This is something I will benefit from for the rest of my life. In the past, when faced with many challenges and changes in life, I would always try my best to plan and attempt to control these situations within my understanding. Gradually, I realized that my peace comes from my ability to control, and in doing so, I slowly drifted away from following God with a simple heart.
  • When it comes to deconstruction, this was unacceptable to me at all, because deconstruction represents confusion and a sudden loss of direction. However, this time, through the process of deconstructing and reconstructing an artwork in class, I realized that 'without deconstruction, there is no new possibility.' Every deconstruction is a new lesson, and through this deconstruction, new possibilities are formed. God always knows what we do not know, but often, it requires our faith and surrender for God's calling in our lives to be revealed.
  • Deconstruction and reconstruction are a journey of becoming, and also a journey of homecoming.
  • It is restoration; and it is also creation.
  • It is deconstruction, and it is also reconstruction.
