RESOURCES FOR YOUTH

Youth Crew

Bring a group of energetic college students to your youth group for a night of interactive fun! The Youth Crew is a group of Northwestern College students who can share testimonies, games, worship and a topical challenge for discussion—plus handle a Q & A about everything from living for Christ in high school to what a typical day looks like in college!

Just let us know how the Youth Crew can best serve your church—our students are eager to serve. They enjoy spending time with youth and your church youth will enjoy them too! Dates fill up fast so call today to get us on your youth schedule.

Read an article about the Youth Crew, featured in the Northwestern Pilot magazine.

RESOURCES FOR COLLEGE-BOUND

Campus Visit Events

For high school students and young adults looking at colleges, it can be a time of overwhelming decisions: What college do I pick? What do I even look for in a college? What do I want to do with my life? What should I major in?

In addition to these key questions, we believe there shouldn't be a disconnect between a student's faith journey between high school and college. Northwestern's desire is to continue building on the spiritual foundation of your students.

Visiting Northwestern College for a day is a fun, informative and lighthearted way to experience life as a college student. Visit nwc.edu/admissions for campus visit event dates.

FREE College Prep for Parents

How can parents prepare their students-and themselves-for the college years? Parents who attend will learn about opportunities to save thousands of dollars in college tuition.

Bring our College Prep for Parents seminar to your church and we will walk parents through not only how to prepare financially for college, but also how to prepare their student emotionally, intellectually and spiritually for what could be the four most influential years in their student's life.

RESOURCES FOR MINISTRY LEADERS

Brunch With. . .

Church Relations invites ministry leaders (pastors, youth pastors and youth volunteers) to join us for a brunch with our chapel speakers. These will be small, intimate events that will give you an opportunity to ask questions and interact with the chapel speaker, as well as to network with other pastors and ministry leaders in the area. These events include a spot at chapel and afterward a seat at the table for the brunch with our speaker.

Professional Development for Ministry Leaders

Church Relations hosts educational opportunities for local ministry leaders throughout the year. Taught by college professors, these events are relevant and timely to better equip pastoral and lay leaders in the church. These are for professional development, not for academic credit.

Graduate & Continuing Education

Are you, your ministry leaders or church members thinking about continuing their education in a Christ-centered environment? Northwestern offers several bachelor's degree completion options as well as two graduate degree programs—Master of Arts in Theological Studies and Master of Organizational Leadership. We offer exciting, practical and flexible options designed for adult learners.

Check out our adult education options.
