How do I know if I am accepted into the program?
You will receive an email to set up an interview once the application is processed. Following the interview, you will be contacted for next steps.

Do I have to be a member of City Church to be accepted into the program?
You do not have to be a member of City Church to apply. However, the program is built around the life of the church and you will be required to attend and assist in services scheduled throughout a given week.

Can I still work if I participate in the program?
Yes, but you will need to plan your work schedule around your program hours. We recommend no more than part-time hours, as your responsibilities as an SEU student may be quite extensive depending upon the activities occurring within your Concentration at that time.

Does the program offer financial aid?
You may qualify for a scholarship to cover your tuition and fees. Check with your undergraduate academic advisor about this possibility.

Can I overlap Concentrations?
You will have the opportunity to “minor” in other areas or shift the focus of your Concentration once you begin the program. Your advisor will assist as you make these changes.

When does the program start?
It depends. Details regarding the type and days of training will be shared with those accepted into the program. One-year programs might start in May (summer) or August (fall).

Does the SEU program have on-site housing/dorms?
No. We do assist those who have been accepted into the program in securing adequate housing in the form of apartments or townhomes within a close proximity to our campus. We do connect those accepted into the program when there is a request to share an apartment with another SEU student.

Do you have a daycare for my children?
The program does not provide day care services for children.

Does City Church guarantee me a job at City Church after the completion of my program?
No. The staff at City Church is built by relationships (as well as skill, character, integrity, and anointing) rather than a secular “job hunting” model. We do not offer a job placement as such. The weight is on you to build relationships and sow yourself into the life of the church. With that said, we are committed to assisting every intern, post-graduation. Your Director will help you create a resume’ that highlights the marketable skills that you have acquired in your Concentrations. S/he will also identify potential job openings through the social networks of the City Church team.

What should I bring?
You should have a personal phone with adequate memory and space. You will be provided with a laptop and/or tablet to be used during your term. The majority of your responsibilities will require that you have reliable transportation. This makes a car and valid driver’s license mandatory components.

Is there a limit to the number of students accepted into the program?
No.

What are the deadlines to apply?
The summer deadline is the end of April. The fall deadline is the end of July.
