FACULTY SPOTLIGHT
Faith-Based Community Development
Northwind Seminary prepares leaders to help communities and congregations engage the systems of power in neighborhood settings (new parish model), and work for the peace and shared prosperity (shalom) of the place that they have been sent by God to minister.
Rev. Dennis Singini, Pastor of Jenda Bible Believers Church and Director of WorldHope Corps, Malawi, graduated with his Master’s Degree from Northwind Seminary in June 2024.
FBCD Students will learn how to study their communities, engage systems of institutional racism, generational poverty, immigration, environmental crises, and changing neighborhoods.
Graduates will know how to lead congregations and community organizations in ministries of healing, health, and reconciliation so that all people in the neighborhood parish can flourish.
Applications are being accepted for the
Master in Specialized Ministry
Faith-Based Community Development.

WHAT DO STUDENTS SAY?
Dig Deep, Tend the Soil, Help Newness Emerge
by Catherine Lawton
How do faith-based writers and publishers sustain hope, creativity, and authenticity while seeking to influence readers in a postmodern, increasingly secular and technological world?
This book is for faith-based authors desiring fresh perspectives and practices in their writing life—and for those looking to effectively publish. In a mix of research, memoir, and poetic styles, seasoned author and publisher Catherine Lawton offers a lush garden of inspiration for connecting with readers today.
Cathy is a graduate of the Master in Speciaized Ministry (MSMin).
She is the Editor of Student Publications for Northwind Press.

Northwind offers a new style of online learning: Guided Education
When most people think of seminary courses, they envision a professor standing at the front of a classroom, giving lectures and facilitating discussions. While this can be an effective method of teaching, it is not the only way. At Northwind Theological Seminary, courses are designed to be taken by individual students anywhere with wifi, at their own pace, on any device they choose.
Northwind's teaching philosophy is called Guided Education, which is based on Competency-Based Theological Education. Faculty mentors vet resources, organize learning, and guide students through Video-Lecture Courses, Tutorial Courses, and Oxford-Style Courses, allowing students to learn in a way that works best for them.
