UNIVERSITY MINISTRIES (UMIN)

UMIN provides an authentic spiritual community and rich opportunities to put your faith into practice. North Parkers are encouraged to grow their faith via CollegeLife—our Sunday evening gatherings—weekly Wednesday Chapel services, and global partnerships that offer chances to explore Christianity in different parts of the world. Chicago provides countless opportunities for students to serve, seek justice, and spread God’s love.

One of the reasons I chose to attend North Park was for its commitment to being a space of religious diversity. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of a Christian community where I am in a space safe and loving enough to be able to share and respect different ideas.

CRUX: NORTH PARK’S FIRST-YEAR DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM www.northpark.edu/faith

Incoming students interested in growing their faith while journeying together with like-minded students often choose North Park’s Crux program. During this first, formative year at North Park, students in Crux explore what it means to be a Christian through an immersive experience that includes daily devotionals, service projects, mentoring alongside seminary students, and exploring Chicago.
