Who We Are
Our learning community, whether theologians or pastors, students or spiritual directors, finds common root in our heritage of being first “Mission Friends.” This Swedish-pietist term emphasizes the personal, relational, and spiritual aspects of following Jesus together.
It’s why many of our professors, even with advanced scholarship, don’t insist on their academic titles in their classrooms, but simply their first name. As new creatures in Christ, we learn and are formed walking side by side.
Faculty & Staff
Our core faculty and staff form the heartbeat of our seminary community—teaching, planning, mentoring, praying, lecturing, writing, and just a little bit of laughter.
Faculty Emeriti
Generations of pastors and spiritual leaders have trained in the community of North Park Theological Seminary. Our faculty emerti shape the memory of our past and our foundations for the future.
Adjunct Faculty & Ministry Practioners
Ministry training is incomplete without instructors who have experienced its challenges and joys. Our adjunct faculty bring their practical and pastoral wisdom to our classrooms across our curriculum.
