Theological education is much more than enrolling in graduate school.
It is a moment of faith where God calls us to more. The North Park community—scholars and students, pastors and professors—engages this calling every day. Together. If you’re ready for this next step of hope, powered by faith, we invite you to join us.

Melissa Duncan MDiv ’25
“I was inspired to attend North Park Theological Seminary because of its commitment to justice and its clear work to provide a formation experience that encompasses a fuller picture of the body of Christ, demonstrated through not only a diverse staff but also a diverse student body and diverse readings.”
Peter Gothold MDiv
“I wanted my leadership in the church to be grounded in academic study. In my NPTS courses, I’ve loved diving deeply into theology and Scripture and reconnecting with the Evangelical Covenant Church roots. I can immediately apply what I learn in the classroom to my pastoral ministry.”
Melvin Ardon MDiv ’25, MBA ’25
“I was born in Guatemala and came to the United States when I was 10 years old, so I’m a son of immigrants and an immigrant myself. God slowly started to pull me toward ministry over the years. My application to North Park felt like a prayer, but God made a way. The professors here are truly supportive; they’re with you every step of the way.”
