The Northside Chicago Theological Institute

NCTI is a cooperative venture within ACTS. It was formed in 1971 by five seminaries in the northern part of the Chicago area: North Park Theological Seminary, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Seabury-Western Theological Seminary, University of St. Mary of the Lake (Mundelein Seminary), and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.

Each year, NCTI offers two joint seminars where students from a variety of traditions come together and learn about their distinctiveness and common characteristics. These seminars may be taken for academic credit through the individual seminaries.
