Intensive Training School is a fully immersive, full-time experience! Students spend most of their time either on campus or serving in the Greater Baltimore Region. This page has information about church, work, housing, transportation, and Baltimore!
Students can also get more information from the Student Handbook.
Church
We are a ministry of Rock City Church of Baltimore (RCC), a Spirit-filled nondenominational church for all nations! Everything we do as followers of Jesus is within and through the local church. Students will attend Rock City Church services and events, complete First Principles membership classes, and serve in the ministries of the House as part of their CCSM experience. We are eternally grateful for the family and army of RCC, that welcomes CCSM students with open arms each year and becomes irreplaceable support through the process!
Housing / Campus Life
CCSM houses nonlocal students – both from within and outside the US – in the dormitories. Dorm rooms are doubles, and each contains beds, desks, wardrobes, and a full bathroom. The dormitories also include a kitchen and gathering area, and a beautiful courtyard!
Work
Students are required to work at least part-time during CCSM. All international students work at Rock City Church, as well as most students from other parts of the United States. Local students who already have jobs work with CCSM administrators to discern the right work plan.
Transportation
Students who have cars may bring them to CCSM. CCSM also has a van, and many RCC members are generous to help transport students as needed. Uber and Lyft are also readily available.
International Students​
CCSM is a school for the nations! We have students from all over the world, and are rooted at Rock City Church, a church for the nations with members from every corner of the earth! Our dedicated staff and student community will provide you with the support and resources you need to thrive at CCSM!
Tuition
CCSM tuition and fees are very affordable. Contact us now to discuss more.
About Baltimore
CCSM is located outside the town of Towson in Baltimore County, just north of Baltimore City. Towson is a college town with a wide array of restaurants, big box stores, grocery and clothing stores, and personal service businesses within a 10-minute drive of CCSM.
Baltimore City itself has a famous Inner Harbor tourist area, museums of art and history, baseball and football stadiums, and many distinct neighborhoods, each with their own character to explore.
Baltimore was founded in 1729 and is a City of Firsts! A port city, it has been a home for flour mills, textile mills, ships, and railroads. One hundred years ago, Baltimorean millionaires pioneered modern philanthropy with familiar names like Peabody and Johns Hopkins. Today, it is full of world-class educational institutions and hospitals, and international populations. But it is also a city in pain that desperately needs the love and power of God, demonstrated through the Church, to bring radical change!

Rock City Church has been serving Baltimore City since 1983: feeding the hungry (currently at a rate of over 60,000 families every month), clothing the naked, visiting those in prison and helping them successfully reenter society, rebuilding homes completely free for first-time homeowners, caring for women in crisis, hosting block parties, and more!
