City Seminary of Sacramento seeks to provide a sound, biblical theological education to all qualified candidates for the ministry, and those who seek to improve their understanding of God's Word. Although scholarship funds—which are funded by the generous contributions of local churches, church members and City Seminary sponsored events—are limited, it is the goal of City Seminary that all those who desire to enroll in classes for credit may do so, irrespective of financial ability. Please fill out and return the Application Form (Admissions/Download Forms). A member of the Financial Aid Committee will contact you.

• Agree to remain under the authority of his local church

• Agree to diligently attend scheduled classes (no more than 2 unexcused absences per class)

The candidate's pastor or governing board must also agree to supervise the student's seminary education, to the end that he may be properly prepared to minister in the denomination or church body that has served as his sponsor.
