Too many ministry leaders in Memphis never finish seminary. Why?

Because seminary degrees are far too often:

Expensive
Disconnected from on-the-ground ministry
Unrealistically demanding for busy leaders.

We remove these barriers so you can get equipped and stay on mission.

Accredited Degree in the Country

An Achievable Degree that Could Change Memphis

At Memphis City Seminary, we know life, ministry, and finances can make seminary feel out of reach. That’s why we’ve created an achievable degree built for people like you – busy leaders with a deep sense of calling. It’s a path that will take you from being called to equipped without leaving the work you’re already engaged in. As an MCS graduate, you will grow spiritually and academically, develop a deep understanding of Scripture, and cultivate confidence to lead in your context.

Achievable Ministry Preparation.
Eternal Impact.

“Memphis City Seminary has been instrumental in equipping me for ministry. I have been challenged academically, encouraged in the learning community, and empowered by the faculty to bear witness to the Kingdom of God both in the city of Memphis and in the world at large. I don't think it gets any better than this!”
