LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Trustees of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary unanimously accepted the gift of a Christian university campus in Wisconsin as a new extension campus of the seminary and its undergraduate Boyce College during their Oct. 13–14 fall meeting in Louisville, Ky.
The gifting of Northland International University, an evangelical school in Dunbar, Wis., to Southern Seminary has been approved by Northland’s trustees effective Aug. 1, 2015.
Daniel Patz, president of Northland since 2013, attended the meeting and told trustees that the campus is not just a gift to Southern Seminary.
“It is a gift to us in order for this legacy and this mission to continue; it is the greatest mission in the world, to bring the gospel to the ends of the earth,” Patz said.
In addition to the academic expansion for Southern and Boyce, the Northland campus will provide a location for youth camps, church planting training, faculty retreats and other events on its 660-acre campus about 90 minutes north of Green Bay, Wis., officials said.
