Northern Seminary is a private Baptist seminary in Lisle, Illinois. It is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA.
History
The Seminary was founded in 1913 by the Second Baptist Church of Chicago under the name Northern Baptist Theological Seminary as a theologically conservative alternative within the framework of its association with the American Baptist Churches USA (Northern Baptist Convention).[4][5] In 1920 a collegiate department was founded, and the Northern Baptist Convention became a seminary partner.[6] In 1963, it moved to Lombard, Illinois.[7] In 2004, it was renamed Northern Seminary.[8] In 2017, it moved to Lisle, Illinois.[9]
It is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
On March 13, 2023, the president, William D. Shiell, resigned from his position amid controversy. [10]
