Finding Housing

Most students choose to live in the area surrounding The Master’s Seminary. This includes Northridge, Granada Hills, Encino, Sherman Oaks, North Hollywood, Burbank, Glendale, Simi Valley, and the Santa Clarita Valley.

Once you are accepted into the full-time residential program, you are eligible to apply for our housing scholarship or our cost-of-living scholarship. Both scholarships provide a stipend each semester to offset housing expenses.

Visit our Affordable Housing in Los Angeles page for more information.

Finding Employment

At The Master’s Seminary, on-campus classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This makes it possible for students to work the rest of the week. For those needing to work full-time, TMS offers a five-year M.Div. track that combines online and Saturday classes.

A number of employment opportunities are available through The Master’s University and Seminary, Grace Community Church, and Grace to You. Many of these opportunities come with significant tuition benefits for student-workers. These positions include pastoral internships, custodial staff, security team, marketing, admissions counselors, youth ministry workers, and more. Students’ wives are encouraged to apply for these positions as well.

Through the thousands of members at Grace Community Church, there is a vast network of generous, hardworking people. Getting involved at church is actually one of the best ways to find employment. Many opportunities are listed on the GCC Opportunity Sheet.
