Core Values
Founded in 1913, Northern Seminary is an evangelical community, rooted in Baptist heritage, passionately committed to graduate-level educational excellence with a mission of preparing women and men for effective leadership for the church of Jesus Christ.
We treasure these commitments:
GOSPEL We live by personal faith in the good news of what God--Father, Son and Holy Spirit--has accomplished in the incarnation, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world.
SCRIPTURE We submit to the authority of the Word of God, incarnate in Jesus Christ, made known in the whole of scripture as the supreme authority for faith and practice.
MISSION We are driven by God's mission, which is both global and local, culturally engaged and holistically committed to evangelizing, discipling, and serving others with compassion.
LEADERSHIP We focus on preparing women and men, called by God, to lead local churches and other ministries to faithful effectiveness with wisdom and vision.
FORMATION We are committed to the spiritual formation of Christ-like leaders to nurture Spirit-formed communities by modeling personal wholeness, Biblical faithfulness, and theological competence.
COMMUNITY We celebrate a vibrant community that brings together in Christ women and men from across racial, cultural, generational and denominational lines.
