Each year, City Seminary begins the academic calendar with a Convocation Service. The purpose of the service is for pastors from the local community to preach the "charge" to the students and to the faculty. The Board of Governors' expressed desire is that the local church will help hold the seminary accountable to her mission, and to the eternal standards of our shared, orthodox Christian faith.

These sermons are now available for listening on our website, as well as video (starting in 2009). We hope they are as much a blessing to you, as they were to the school when they were preached.
