NYSUM is more than
just another “school”. 
We are a “training and
resource center serving
the urban church.”  NYSUM’s purpose is to train laborers for the front lines – servant leaders who can face the urban challenge.  Our school is unique in that groups from Seminaries, Bible Schools, and Colleges. Churches and Mission Organizations learn urban ministry at the grass roots with a cross-cultural “hands-on” focus.  This is possible through NYSUM’S years of networking and partnering with pastors and churches throughout all five boroughs of New York City.

There is no better place to train up urban warriors than in New York City, the most International City of the World.  Over 100 languages are spoken in New York City and the nations have come within our borders.  Today, we can seize this window of opportunity to train and equip Christian workers to reclaim cities for Christ.

On behalf of my wife and I, along with the leadership and staff of NYSUM, I personally invite you to come to share in the NYSUM experience in the near future.  Together, we can pull in the nets to reach a mighty citywide harvest in these days of end-time revival.

The Vision
NYSUM is an interdenominational school for people with a heart for urban ministry. Through a combination of urban training, onsite practical ministry and actually living in a city neighborhood, we aim to train you to reach people in cities around the world for Christ.
The emphasis is:

• Training: Our "hands on" urban training build a template for practical application in the city. Our Staff Training Team will lead you in city orientation, Ministry Site Training, prep times, and debrief sessions where you 'defuse' your experiences to apply them in your hometown or city.
• Teaching: Our seminar style teaching sessions aim to train participants in many aspects of city ministry. This is accomplished through a combination of classroom and chapel training and in city outreaches which includes local ministries and churches.
• Touching: NYSUM emphasized meeting people on every level from Main Street to Back Street to Wall Street with a specialized focus on the poor. This involves a broad based selection of ministry sites and locations.
• Transforming: NYSUM links Christian workers to urban needs on the streets, in the AIDS Hospital, with the homeless, soup kitchens, shelter outreaches, street meetings, block parties and V.B.S. programs and with the forgotten.

We remain committed to urban leaders who are "Heroes of Faith" serving in the trenches, battling the forces of darkness and desiring practical urban training that will help empower them to reclaim their City for Christ.
