Other Programs
Athletics Ministry
The University Ministries' Athletics Chaplain oversees a team of Seminary students who serve as chaplains and spiritual resources to many of North Park's sports teams. Depending on the needs and desires of the team and the availability of chaplains, various activities including Chapel services, bible studies and one-on-one mentoring for coaches and their teams are provided. Contact the UMin office for more details.
Catholic Association
The Catholic Association seeks to nurture North Park students in the Catholic tradition to grow in Christ with each other, to promote understanding of the Catholic faith tradition among members of other faith communities, and to encourage inter-faith understanding. Students as well as faculty and staff are welcome to join us. For more information, please email us at umin@npumin.com.
Red Hymnal Society
All are welcome to join the Red Hymnal Society as they meet weekly to sing from the retired Red Covenant Hymnal. Song numbers are shouted out on the fly by anyone who wants to pick a song. After an hour of worship, the group enjoys fellowship over homemade baked goods. The RHS also participates in a number of events throughout the year, from singing with the elderly at Covenant Home, to joining local churches in their hymn sings, to caroling the neighborhood and campus by candlelight during advent.
Social Justice
The Social Justice team seeks to offer students opportunities to learn and respond to greater issues that are going on in the world such as hunger, homelessness, trafficking, slavery, child soldiers, lack of clean water, and more. Partnered with organizations such as the International Justice Mission and Invisible Children, the team seeks to provide opportunities for students to come together, as well as opportunities to collaborate with others.
Spiritual Direction
We at UMin, in partnership with the Seminary, are offering interested students an opportunity to participate in spiritual direction with trained directors from the Seminary. For a description of spiritual direction and to apply, click here.
