What do I get out of this program?
The program is designed to equip each student with a key set of marketable skills. Some are soft skills, such as communication, organization, strategic thinking, and creativity. Students also learn hard skills, such as media production, computer competency, and budgeting.

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.

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

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.

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