📚 Shoutout to Dr. Nijay K Gupta!

Dr. Gupta recently launched Galatians in Greek, a free weekly reading course bringing together Northern Seminary students, alumni, and members of his Substack community to study Scripture and strengthen their Greek skills.

With strong participation, the course is helping learners grow together and stay connected through a shared love of biblical study.

Thank you, Nijay, for sharing your time and expertise and making space for learning beyond the classroom!

We look forward to sharing more updates as the space comes together!

It’s more than a tagline. It’s Northern Seminary’s story—and you are part of it.

Northern graduates are faithfully serving communities near and far. For many, their journey began with a scholarship made possible by someone like you.
