North Park Theological Seminary

When in Chicago... 🌭⚾️

Last night following class, NPTS students got to enjoy the great American pastime in the city of Big Shoulders. Go Cubs!

Here at NPTS, we take our coffee breaks seriously. Whether in 1982 or 2026, that second (or third!) cup and warm fellowship fuel seminarians' learning.

Today, North Park seminarians begin their week of campus intensives in Chicago! Join us in prayer for these students as they devote this week to preparation, formation, and fellowship in community.

Today we will be celebrating our graduating cohort at Illinois River Correctional Center. Join us in honoring their hard work and praying for them today as they mark this incredible accomplishment.

Photos to come!

Just one week to go until June intensives begin!
Counting down the days until Nyvall Hall is filled again with the sights and sounds of our learning community. We can’t wait to welcome you back for continued formation and ministry preparation.

Summer is officially here at NPTS!

The summer term begins TODAY. It's your last chance to sign up for one of our summer intensives taking place on campus in June:

The Book of Psalms: A Canonical Journey from Lament to Praise
NextGen Ministry in Context
Moving Toward Shalom in a Racialized World
Theology and Practice of Sacraments

We’re kicking things off with a look back at summer 2024, which was filled with connection, learning, and...yes, a wedding that made it unforgettable.

What are you most looking forward to this summer term? 👀

From the 1970s to 2026: the faces change, but the pride stays the same.
Honoring North Park seminarians' obedience to God's call, then and now.

Campus feels a little quieter now. No community dinner laughter, no post-class conversations...We are feeling your absence in Nyvall Hall.
Come back soon, seminarians!

At North Park Theological Seminary, we see seasons of transition as invitations, opportunities to reimagine what’s possible for the church.
We’re grateful to be partnering with Council Tree during a time of transition. What could have been a quiet season has become a space for shared imagination, as NTS faculty step in through guest preaching and lifelong learning workshops.

This collaboration reflects something we deeply value at NPTS: the meaningful connection between theological education and the lived experience of the local church. Together, we’re exploring how insight, formation, and community can together nurture deeper faith and renewed vision.
