Welcome to the North Park Community.
North Park is Chicago’s city-centered Christian University.
Founded in 1891 by Swedish Christian immigrants, it continues to embody Covenant values and affirmations. Accordingly, we foster respectful discussion and engagement among people of all beliefs.
“I chose North Park because I knew it was intentionally Christian, and I was drawn to the campus by the opportunities it provided and the appeal of being in the heart of Chicago.
It has been the most exciting ride of my life, and North Park has created a unique place for me to discover who I am and who I am in Christ.”
