Gatherings
Spiritual Life Credit
Northwest University envisions and works towards a spiritually vital community that fosters the spiritual formation of each member. Campus Ministries creates space for spiritual formation through engagement in a diversity of activities. Programs and events that inform and engage spiritual life count towards Spiritual Life Credits (SLC). Students are expected to engage in the spiritual life of the community and earn 30 SLC each semester. We offer five gatherings a week as opportunities for spiritual formation and to earn these credits.
Visit the Spiritual Life Credit page for more information.
