Teaching covenant members of Citylight Manayunk to observe all that Jesus commanded for the purpose of reaching our city, nation, and world with the gospel.

What is the Citylight Institute?

Through classes in Bible, theology, and Christian living, the Citylight Institute equips believers to be fully-formed disciples of Christ who know their God (Daniel 11:32), the times they live in (1 Chronicles 12:32), and how to connect what they believe to all of life.

Most classes are held on Sunday mornings at Citylight Manayunk.

Common questions

What are the requirements to be part of these classes?

Classes are open to those who attend a Citylight Manayunk Citygroup. You must commit to attending corporate worship on the days that classes are held. Classes are not a substitute for corporate worship.

Where and when will the classes be held?

While eventually Citylight Institute classes may be held in a variety of contexts, most classes will be held on Sunday mornings at Mishkan during one of the worship services.

Who will be teaching the classes?

Classes will be taught by Citylight elders as well as other capable and called individuals.

Will the classes be available online?

Since the best learning environment is an active, in-class learning environment, course lectures will be held in-person. At a later point we may introduce other course options.
