Seminary education has a vital role to play in the advancement of God’s Kingdom. As the world continues to change, the need for transformational leadership has grown. To effectively meet this need, the Church must raise up leaders who have a firm grasp, both in theory and in practice, of God’s mission on earth.
Since 1913, Northern Seminary has welcomed men and women from various Christian faith traditions, ethnic and cultural backgrounds, and ministry experiences. Our students have enrolled from almost 30 denominations, and alumni have served in over 30 countries. Our students also range in age from recent college graduates to second career and retirees who have answered a call to ministry.
All of our faculty have been called to ministry at some point in their lives, and their teaching reflects that calling. In fact, many still serve in churches or para-church ministries. Students can trust that members of our faculty are aware of the challenges and rewards of ministry because they have experienced them firsthand.
Focused on the Mission of God, Northern provides an education that brings together the best of theory and practice. Powerful ministry is based on an understanding of your ministry context and your ability to apply your knowledge.
As the need for seminary increases, so does the need for a renewed approach to Theological Education. Northern Seminary is dedicated to God’s mission through the development of leaders who will be personally whole, spiritually mature, biblically grounded, and theologically competent. All our programs are available online through our state-of-the art smart classroom technology. Learn more about our online offerings.
