	City Seminary of Sacramento
		The conviction of City Seminary of Sacramento is that every major metropolitan area in the United States should have a theological center where men can be trained and prepared for the gospel ministry without relocating to another area.
		The second goal is the provision of additional theological training for men already ordained to the Gospel ministry, as well as other church officers and members, utilizing the resources of the institution to serve the continuing needs of the churches in the Sacramento region.
		In short, our goal is to embrace all within the believing Church who seek to improve their theological knowledge and skills, while also offering a distinctive Reformed "track" for those more particularly seeking to serve in Reformed and Presbyterian ecclesiastical bodies.
