About Northwest Christian University

Northwest Christian University was founded in 1895 by pastor-educator, Eugene C. Sanderson, and named Eugene Divinity School. Through a series of name changes and a merger, the college became known as Northwest Christian College in 1934 and Northwest Christian University in 2008.

Northwest Christian has a deep heritage developed with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and Christian Churches/Churches of Christ and we seek to develop a diverse campus community that welcomes students from a wide variety of church backgrounds. Approximately 15 percent of the student body comes from these two church bodies. Many of our students come from other Christian backgrounds and groups such as Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Foursquare, Lutheran, Nazarene, Episcopal, Assembly of God, Catholic, and Community Churches.

Located in Eugene, Ore., the environment is intimate and the surroundings picturesque. Our campus is just a few minutes from city center and bordered partially by the University of Oregon and Sacred Heart Regional Medical Center. Our buildings are a blend of historic and modern. The oldest building, a Eugene landmark, is the three-story Martha Goodrich Administration Building constructed in 1908 from volcanic stone. One of our newest buildings is the 43,000 square foot, state-of-the-art Morse Event Center (MEC) completed in the fall of 2003.
