Student Association and Student Leadership Team

All 北公园神学院 students are members of the NPTS Student Association. Students are represented by a Student Leadership Team who volunteer to serve for a term of two years. Serving as a member of the Student Leadership Team is a great way to be an active part of the student body.

任务

The mission of the Student Leadership Team (SLT) is to minister to and through the 神学院 community through student-initiated events, 服务, 宣传, and cooperation with other 神学院 offices. The SLT meets each month to address students’ needs and concerns and to plan social events for the student body. It also provides a student representative to the administration, 教师, and the 神学院 Board of Trustees.

焦点

The SLT focuses its work in the areas of C社区所, C是谁, Connection和 C沟通. For the Academic Year of 2021-22 the team will focus its work on campus life with the goal of integrating representation of all the constituencies which make up the entire NPTS student body.

形成

每年春天, the current SLT will prayerfully discern the following year’s team while also gathering feedback from the Office of Student Services. They will look at the current team, ask God where He is leading them to invite new leaders, and then personally invite new student leaders to serve for the following year. The SLT will together determine in what capacity each member will serve.

All 北公园神学院 students are strongly encouraged to bring ideas and concerns to the Student Leadership Team.
