City Location
Our address is Chicago, and our neighborhood (Albany Park) is a microcosm of the world. Our zip code is one of the most ethnically diverse in the United States. Take a five-minute walk from our campus and you’re sure to hear an interesting combination of the more than 40 languages spoken in the community we call home. Our location offers a remarkable, true-to-life laboratory for ministry in the real world. It affords our students countless opportunities to encounter human variety and human needs and share the good news of Jesus Christ. Our students serve and worship in local churches with diverse and exciting ministries of outreach and compassion. We’ve been in this neighborhood for over 125 years, a span of sweeping change all around us. From the start, we have looked at our location as something more than an accident of history. We have viewed it as a gift to us and to our students, who learn in the classroom and on the nearby streets, exploring their callings and putting their faith into practice. North Park Theological Seminary is tucked into a residential neighborhood on Chicago’s north side, only 10 miles from the architecturally impressive skyline of the city’s famous Loop. Here students experience a world-class city that boasts a bustling marketplace of ideas, cultures, and people. Chicago is home to some of the world’s best art collections, including those of the Art Institute of Chicago. Our city is famous for its approach to architecture and year-round cultural and music festivals expose the richness of diverse communities. We also have the Cubs, White Sox, Bulls, Bears, and Blackhawks.
