Theosis Higher Institute (THI) is honored to announce the inaugural edition of its Intensive Theological Formation in the United States – THI Special Session USA 2026.

Taking place from August 23-28, 2026, at the beautiful Potomac Park Retreat  and Conference Center in Falling Waters, West Virginia, this six-day residential gathering will bring together students, ministers, and believers from across the United States and abroad for an immersive experience of theological learning, spiritual formation, and Christian fellowship.

This Theosis Special Session is designed for those who desire to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and engage more intentionally with the theological vision of Theosis Higher Institute. Through intensive teaching sessions, meaningful discussions, and shared community life, participants will have the opportunity to grow intellectually, spiritually, and relationally.

More than an academic gathering, this Special Session is an invitation to be deeply formed in the ancient apostolic and patristic vision of the Lordship of Jesus Christ and His saving work in the cosmos. It is an opportunity to step away from the distractions of everyday life and immerse yourself in a learning environment dedicated to theological excellence, spiritual formation, and authentic Christian fellowship.

Whether you are a current THI student, a ministry leader, or someone seeking a deeper theological foundation, this gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect theology with daily life while growing alongside a community committed to Christ-centered learning and formation.

We look forward to welcoming you to this historic gathering as we come together in pursuit of truth, wisdom, and a deeper appreciation of the person and work of Jesus Christ.

Secure your place today and join us for the inaugural THI Special Session USA 2026.
