Worship
We worship together weekly in Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, dynamic, and diverse gatherings where we learn to love God, one another, and the world around us.
Grow
We grow best in community, and at NPU, there are ample opportunities to grow together in Christ and his Kingdom. Students support, encourage, and challenge one another to become more like Christ and pursue his vocation for their lives.
Serve
We pursue a commitment to love, mercy and justice by providing numerous opportunities for students to put their faith into action by serving together locally, nationally, and globally.
LifeGroups
LifeGroups are groups of four–10 students doing life together and seeking Life together. Some focus on Bible study or prayer, others read books together, and others focus on specific topics or represent people with similar interests (such as athletic teams or artists)—all center on encountering Jesus and being transformed by him.
Sankofa Experience
Sankofa is a journey toward racial justice and reconciliation. Each February, University Ministries takes a group of students and faculty to places like Birmingham, Alabama, and Memphis, Tennessee, to encounter our country’s past and present realities, have courageous conversations, and seek God’s Kingdom in more of its fullness.
Global Partnerships
Global Partnerships is a place in your North Park experience where your faith, learning, and service will meet in transformative experiences around the world. Whether you serve alongside our partners right here in local disaster relief zones or as distant as the Zulu Hills of South Africa or somewhere in between, your eyes are sure to be opened and your heart ignited with the things closest to God’s heart. We send 150 NPU students, faculty, and staff out annually to learn and serve alongside up to 14 Global Partnership organizations, and we invite you to be one of them.
