Making Connections Initiative

North Park Theological Seminary, as the only denominational seminary of the Evangelical Covenant Church, is a central Covenant ministry. It actively trains most of the 1600 ministers of the denomination and its faculty members contribute essential theological resources to those on the front line of congregational ministry. Full time faculty are called by the denomination at its annual meeting to be the educators of those called into Christian ministry.

Making Connections works to strengthen the mutual and natural relationships between the seminary and youth ministry (Youth Nexus), North Park University Ministries, congregations (Professor- in- Residence and Exploring Covenant Affirmations) as well as pastors and staff ministers (Pastors- in- Residence).

The logo visualizes the interweaving of the ministry venues reinforced by seminary ministry. The relationships built will be mutual and beneficial to building up the body of Christ. These initiatives are funded by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
