Students

City Seminary is dedicated to serving its students by helping them to find their calling before God, develop their spiritual gifts, and encourage 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,students_01b.jpg

"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.


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.

Statistics
