Welcome to the Street Psalms
Seminary
Providing free formation for all who want to create cities of peace for all people.
“Grant us the gift of becoming a community of the Incarnation - mystery of word made flesh, who sees and celebrates good news in hard places.”
(From Prayer of Vocation)
Street Psalms is an Order with a Seminary and a Design Studio that serves a global network. Our goal is to free leaders from all walks of life to love their city and seek its peace, inspired by the Gospel of Jesus. Since our formation in 1999, we have done the work of formation alongside thousands of global leaders.
The Street Psalms Seminary provides ongoing formation for the Ordained, those seeking ordination, and those who want to be formed by the Order for work in their local context. We host a variety of rhythms and formational experiences that are open to all who wish to participate, regardless of enrollment in a specific program.
We function like an underground Community in Mission that provides a safe place to be formed for the risky work of liberation in vulnerable urban communities. Our campus is dispersed in cities around the world through a diverse network of partners. The city is our classroom, parish, and playground. Our framework frees leaders to love and serve in the shape of a community in mission. Our hermeneutic is “from below.” Our method is induction, based on an apprenticeship model. Our design process produces social innovation. We are joyfully unaccredited.
