Are you looking for encouragement, training, and community as you do ministry in the city? We invite you to come and hear about how our 2023-24 learning programs can serve you wherever you are in your ministry life and work! Join with cohorts of Christians from across the city, and journey together through our non-degree programs - Ministry Fellows, Bible for Life, and Thriving in Ministry - and our MA Degree Program in Ministry in the Global City.

In-person open houses will be held at our Hope Campus in Harlem (302 W. 119th St.). Light refreshments will be served. Online open houses will be held online via Zoom, with the Zoom information provided in your confirmation email.

Ministry Fellows

Understand the city better, experience the broader church, get equipped for ministry, and become formed for leadership. Through experiential learning, dialogue and reflection, prayer, worship, and wrestling with Scripture, walk together with a diverse community of ministry leaders for a season.

Bible for Life

Join us for a short course leading you through the entire Bible. Students will come to understand their place in the unfolding story of God's relationship with creation, from Genesis through Revelation.

Thriving in Ministry Initiative (for pastors)

Become part of a growing community of pastoral ministry and leadership practice across church traditions and networks in the metropolitan New York area. We host small groups for peer learning and support (5-session praxis groups or collaborative inquiry groups over 9 months), spiritual direction retreats, and an annual networking reunion. Groups form and run throughout the year. Attend an orientation to find out more.

MA Degree Program in "Ministry in the Global City"

City Seminary’s Master of Arts degree in Ministry in the Global City is a three-year, part-time program that will help prepare you for a lifetime of ministry and leadership in the global city. You will learn more about the urban world, Scripture and spiritual formation, faith and everyday life, and the church in our city and world, and more. With the city as the classroom and the focus and background of every course, students will be prepared for the challenges of living and thinking theologically in a growing and changing, increasingly diverse world Christian church. Completion of Ministry Fellows and Bible for Life are prerequisites for admission. The next cohort begins Spring 2024.
