The New City Consortium is a network of churches, organizations, and individuals under the leadership of New City committed to equipping God's people to serve the City-Church of greater Knoxville and engage our culture for Christ through a variety of weekend workshops, seminars, and advanced studies.

A number of organizations in Knoxville are experienced providers of theological education. Several groups now offer courses of study ranging from niche ministry training to graduate level degrees.

TCOM: Trinity College of Ministry (865.688 9991)

Through New City, we are building a community-wide educational cooperative strategically designed to utilize existing resources in an effort to provide first-rate Christian education. By blending an appreciation for serious theological reflection, practical application, and personal spiritual formation, the New City Consortium offers a unique experience to those interested in being equipped for life and ministry.
