Faculty Spotlight:
Dr. Paul de Neui
Dr. Paul de Neui is the director of the Seminary’s Center for World Christian Studies and actively works to promote intercultural competency as an integral piece of every Seminarian’s education. Each year he offers a global travel course, exploring faith outside of students’ home context.
About the Courses
Developed out of our Center for World Christian Studies, the Intercultural Ministry Certificate’s courses can be applied to a full master’s degree at North Park Theological Seminary. The certificate’s flexible course options—many are offered online or as intensive hybrid courses—allow for distance learning, and for a schedule that fits your needs.
This 12-credit program will provide you with the tools to equip your congregation to think, plan, and practice interculturally as part of its witness to the whole gospel “in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, and the ends of the earth.”
