City School of Ministry

CITY – School of Ministry is currently on HOLD 

(Apologies for any inconvenience caused)


The aim of City School of Ministry is to equip people from all around Sydney in their understanding and ability to read and handle the Bible. Our hope is that people will grow in faith, grow in their ability to teach and evangelize others and grow in their skills to be faithful and effective witnesses of the gospel.

It is open to anyone who wants to attend and is especially convenient for city workers who can finish work, grab a bite to eat, come to one of the course the CITY-SOM runs.


Some of the Introduction to the Bible group, from Term 3, 2005, with Ken Noakes (right)


Courses run for approx 12 week terms in the Upper Chapter House of St Andrew’s Cathedral at various times across the week.
