City Seminary is dedicated to serving its students by helping them to find their calling before God, developing their spiritual gifts, and encouraging the honing of skills which will enable them to serve God's people effectively. We labor with the churches which students attend to help fulfill that directive given by Paul to Timothy,
"You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also."—2 Timothy 2:1-2.
Statistics

compatible with work and family responsibilities.

Testimonies
"The program at City Seminary has made possible what seemed
impossible before: the idea that the Lord might use me in a position of
responsibility in His church. City Seminary is a unique institution, for it
combines a high level of instruction and rigorous fidelity to the Scriptures
with a heartfelt generosity towards those who have financial limitations. It is
obvious that City Seminary is training a generation of future ministers who
will make a real contribution to God's kingdom during the coming years."—C.R.
"City Seminary has been a tremendous blessing. I have
learned so much. I am looking forward to serving the Lord in full-time
ministry."—A.A.
"I am greatly encouraged by seeing brothers from diverse
backgrounds gaining insight into the truths of God's word. This is one of the
greatest aspects of the work the Seminary is doing."—C.R.
"Excellent level of academic instruction. Professor Walker
obviously brings a great deal of study to his classes."—N.B.
"Please believe me that if it were not for the scholarships
I'm receiving, I would not be able to study and my future as a preacher would
be questionable."—C.R.
"One thing that has stood out is the faculty's high view of
scripture. (The academic level is) challenging, yet made accessible by the
clear, enthusiastic communication of the instructors."—J.S.
