Welcome to St George’s College!

 

If you are planning to visit the Holy Land, St. George’s College Jerusalem is for you!

Situated only a few minutes from the Old City of Jerusalem, St. George’s provides year round courses that combine academic study, spirituality and travel.

Faith is transformed as you encounter the land and reflect with other course participants on the meaning of Christian discipleship. Understanding is enhanced as you listen to trained guides and academics. Regular worship and discussion sessions help you to meditate on the experience.

With St George’s all your needs will be taken care of as you visit the holy places, meet the people of the land and study the Bible in a new context. Situated in the grounds of the Anglican Episcopal Cathedral, St. George’s College is one of the institutions of the Diocese of Jerusalem.

Ecumenical and interfaith, the College is open to people of all traditions. Courses are taught in English and are open to everyone, clerical and lay.

Your time at the College will introduce you to archaeological sites and holy places, churches, mosques and synagogues, immersing you in the various exotic cultures of the Middle East.

There is no substitute for a St. George’s course. In Jerusalem you will visit the different quarters of the Old City including the Church of the Resurrection, the Dome of the Rock and the Temple Mount.

In Bethlehem you will visit the Church of the Nativity and the Shepherd’s Fields. In Galilee you will focus on the ministry of Jesus in Nazareth and around the Sea of Galilee. Come with us to Turkey in the footsteps of St. Paul or to Egypt in the steps of the mothers and fathers of the desert. You will not be disappointed as you encounter stunning scenery, stimulating people and new ideas.

After your St. George’s course you will read the Bible with new eyes, see Christian faith in the light of history, and appreciate the complexity of a multi-faith society.
