On the morning of February 19, 2025, Zhejiang Theological Seminary held an opening ceremony for the new semester. Rev. Zheng Rongda, assistant president of the seminary and director of the Office of Student Affairs, officiated the ceremony. All students and faculty members attended.

During the service, Rev. Zheng Congzhen quoted James 4:13-17 to share a message titled “Life in Cloud and Mist”. Rev. Zheng exhorted the congregation not to be misled by the temporary and ever-changing nature of life, but to actively seek the Lord’s guidance and live out the true meaning of life.

Subsequently, Rev. Pan Xingwang, the President of the school, addressed the faculty and students with a speech titled “Starting from the Heart,” presenting three expectations: first, to submit to the truth; second, to dedicate themselves to true righteousness and become vessels of righteousness; and third, to release true love.

After the Lord’s prayer, the service concluded with a benediction given by Rev. Pan Xingwang. Filled with anticipation and confidence for the new semester, students and faculty members embarked on a new learning journey.
