Great Conversations

At the center of our community is a great, ongoing conversation. We listen to voices from throughout time and around the world as we consider together what it looks like for each one of us to take up our place in God’s ongoing work of restoring wholeness to the world. Each program at Northeastern Seminary centers around these six great conversations.

  • Being in the Story – the story of God from creation to new creation and God’s intentions for the world

  • Being in the Word – the Bible as God’s revelation; what God is communicating, how God communicates it, and how Scripture continues to speak today

  • Being Human – what God’s revelation in Jesus teaches us about being human persons

  • Being Christian – what it means to be Christian in religiously plural contexts

  • Being Church – the nature of God’s restorative grace in human life and the church as the people of God

  • Being Mission – theology and mission in a diverse, global context

Through our life together in conversation with God, with each other, and with the world around us, it is our desire to become gracious participants in a worldwide, multiethnic, multigenerational Christian community.
