The workforce is evolving fast, and so are we. 💡

This week, we officially introduced two new programs for the upcoming 2026–27 academic year: a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and an artificial intelligence for business minor/certificate. 💻🧠

Beyond teaching technical proficiency, these programs will also focus on ethical application, aligning with our mission to prepare students for lives of significance and service.

As one of 77 selected proposals, North Park Theological Seminary was recently awarded the $18,000 Vital Worship, Vital Preaching Grant! 🎶🕊️

Awarded by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and funded by Lilly Endowment Inc., this one-year grant will support NPTS’s new project: “Centering Down: Contemplative Practices for Diverse Communities.”

The funding will help deepen Community Worship services and bring guest speakers to campus to share cross-cultural worship traditions, giving students an opportunity to broaden their perspectives.

Who better to give our incoming first-years the inside scoop on starting their journey at NPU than the alumni who’ve already walked in their shoes? 🎓

We’re so grateful to our alumni community for taking the time to share their thoughtful advice and wisdom. Thank you for helping make the transition to college that much smoother for our newest Vikings! 💙💛

The Gospel isn’t just something you share, it’s something you live out. ✝️

For 10 years, Campus Pastor and Athletic Chaplain Rev. Dr. Terence Gadsden DMin ’23 has been putting that idea into practice at North Park University, from 5:00 a.m. football practices to life-changing student initiatives.

His dedicated outreach, alongside the University Ministries staff, recently led to NPU’s first student baptisms in over 15 years. 🕊️🌊
