🎓 Meet Northern Seminary 2026 graduate Abbey Carr!

Abbey earned her Master of Arts in Worship, a journey she describes as a move of God. Pursuing a seminary degree was never something she imagined for herself, and stepping into the program pushed her beyond her comfort zone in ways that unlocked new growth and purpose.

Through her time at Northern, Abbey deepened her understanding of worship and strengthened her capacity to lead others. Now, as a graduate, she says she feels like she’s carrying a treasure—something she can use to help others grow in their walk with Jesus.

We celebrate Abbey and the ways God will continue to use her gifts and calling.

Northern Seminary mourns the passing of Dr. Alfloyd Butler and celebrates his remarkable life of faith, leadership, and service.

As one of Northern Seminary’s first African American professors, Dr. Butler helped shape generations of students through his teaching, wisdom, and commitment to ministry. Beyond Northern, he faithfully served for 40 years as Senior Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, leaving a lasting impact on the church and the South Shore community.

We give thanks to God for Dr. Butler’s life and the many lives touched by his ministry. We extend our prayers and deepest condolences to his family, church family, former students, and all who knew and loved him.

Well done, good and faithful servant. 🕊️
