Things are moving as we get our new academic home at First Baptist Church of Oak Park ready! 🙌

A huge shout-out to our Northern Seminary staff members who took time to help install ceiling tiles in one of the rooms in our new space. We’re grateful for their willingness to roll up their sleeves and help prepare a place where our students and faculty will learn, connect, and grow together.

We look forward to sharing more updates as the space comes together!

Today, we had the opportunity to celebrate Joshua Carney, our Director of Finance, as he prepares for the next season of his career and ministry.

For the past five years, Josh has served Northern Seminary with integrity, consistency, and care. We are grateful for his leadership, his many contributions, and the dedication he has brought to our community.

As Josh takes this next step, we pray God’s blessings over him and look forward to seeing how God continues to work through his life and ministry.

Thank you, Josh, for five years of faithful service. You will be missed!
