There's a place for you at Northern.

Northern Seminary educates Christian leaders to be spiritually mature, biblically grounded, theologically competent, pastoral, evangelistic, and prophetic. We deliver a multi-denominational educational experience that is international, interracial, and intercultural to prepare women and men called by God and empowered by the Holy Spirit to advance and nurture the ministries of the Church. We teach the gospel of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the authority of Scripture.

To lead the church and engage the world, we ignite Spirit-led innovation; form and graduate resilient, mature, and joyful students; and deliver personal, accessible, and affordable biblical training to disciples.

Northern’s core values can be shared through the acronym DESIRE. We value the diverse calling of God—he extends his invitation to people of all backgrounds; educational excellence, scriptural leaders, innovative mission, relational community, and being economically affordable so that many can receive a seminary education.

Northern students are enthusiastic, embracing celebration and joy as part of the Christian journey and witness. They are curious, always seeking to better understand God and his work on our world. They are diverse, reflecting the reality that the kingdom of God is made of people from all backgrounds and that all have an equal seat at the table. Finally, they are relational, living as though we are always better together and that as we pursue life together, we grow as individuals and as Christ’s Church.
