Seminary Students Retreat with Rev. Dr. Sam Ho Reflecting Theologically on Beauty

The annual student retreat is a vital component of fostering community life and deepening spiritual formation at CCST Vancouver. This year, the retreat was led by Rev. Dr. Sam Ho—an artist and theologian—who guided students in engaging Scripture through artistic and contemplative practices, inviting them to encounter God in fresh and embodied ways. Blessed with beautiful weather, the community was also able to gather for outdoor worship, enriching the retreat experience through creation and shared presence. Over the course of the three-day camp at Summit Pacific College, students, faculty, and staff enjoyed meaningful times of learning, prayer, and close interaction, strengthening relationships and nurturing a shared sense of calling and community.
