As believers, we celebrate when justice comes for those who are oppressed. The Bible talks a lot about God being a God of justice, of freedom, and of liberation.

We celebrate Juneteenth because of verses like this. The heart of the holiday reflects the heart of God for His people.

We are grateful to welcome another group of passionate students to campus this week as they grow in knowledge, build meaningful community, and deepen their walk with Christ. Intensives at Northern are more than classes—they are opportunities to reflect on God’s calling, be shaped for faithful ministry, and learn alongside fellow kingdom-minded leaders.

For more than 113 years, Northern Seminary has equipped women to answer God's call to ministry. In fact, Northern’s first student, Amy Lee Stockton, enrolled in 1913 and went on to become one of the nation’s leading evangelists. Today, that legacy continues through the many women who have graduated from Northern and are faithfully serving in ministry around the world.

At Northern, we believe God calls and equips both women and men for kingdom service. Throughout Scripture, women played vital roles in God’s redemptive work, using their gifts with courage, faith, and obedience. We are committed to helping women develop their God-given gifts, embrace their calling, and lead with confidence as they advance Christ’s mission in the Church and the world.
