The Northwest Partnership Program (NPP) is birthed from NU’s deep respect for the powerful influence of the local church and likeminded nonprofits, to effect change in our world. Both the church and university are far more effective when coordinating their efforts as a team than individually to fulfill Christ’s mandate to be change-makers. Together we aim to deliver superb, engaged online education in community contexts to every organization within our reach.
