The Northwest Partnership Program (NPP) is birthed out of NU’s deep respect for the influence and power of the local church to effect change on a local, regional, national, and world-wide stage. Both the church and university are far more effective when coordinating their efforts as a team than individually. Their distinct strengths are magnified and amplified exponentially when working as partners in fulfilling Christ’s mandate to be change-makers.
