NYDS exists to educate, equip, and empower Christian people...

...to excel in Biblical nurture, ministry, and leadership.

...to engage life in NYC and the world with the Lord Jesus Christ’s purposes, perspectives, and grace.

...to effect transformations that please and honor Him.

Bible-based.

Christ-centered.

Spirit-led.

Our courses will empower, equip, and educate you while you work toward certificates in ministry and leadership. Courses follow three tracks:

Bible-Based: study the Scriptures for content, understanding, meditation, and application.
Christ-Centered: examine the world through Jesus Christ’s eyes, focusing on cogency, ethics, theology, and worldviews.
Spirit-Led: train to be a knowledgeable leader through personal spiritual fitness and growth, ministry skills, and Godly integrity.

In light of the recent closings of New York Theological Seminary (NYTS), The King’s College, Nyack College, and Alliance Theological Seminary (ATS), the urgency of NYDS for leadership and ministry training is all the clearer.
