”I have been with the Northwest NPP program and Refine church since 2018. I can honestly say that this program has impacted my life in a great way. Not only has it become a cornerstone in my personal and ministry life, but it has also helped me to build self-confidence and gain courage. The Ohio-NPP coordinator, tutors, Refine church senior leaders, and professors are truly there with you every step of the way and go above and beyond to help you succeed."

- Yanel Gonzalez (NU Graduate, Associates Degree with honors) (Current Student, Bachelors in Psychology)

”I first attended Northwest University a couple of years ago, after having been out of college for many years. I spent about 4 years attending another college, but never actually graduated. I didn’t know what to do at the time, and the constant addition of new courses or requirements stalled my progress and made me extremely jaded. So, when a friend of mine, NPP Coordinator & Pastor Luis Vizcarrondo, told me about the Northwest program at Refine Church, and how efficiently I could attain my degree after taking the “actual” required courses over a short period of time, I, though reluctantly, decided to give it a shot. The courses were fairly challenging, but seeing as I had a good support group, and the subjects I had to study were ones I had a genuine interest in, I ended up doing fairly well. I did have my moments though. Even still, I kept at it, asked for help, got the help that I needed when I needed it, and graduated. What I liked most about the North-West University program, was that I didn’t have to waste as much time finishing my course to get my degree, like I did at my previous college. The professors were helpful and fairly accommodating, the discussions didn’t feel redundant or dense, which was a nice change of pace, and I was able to do all the work online and from my own home, which made it far more manageable, economical, and safe. If it wasn’t for the Northwest University Partnership Program (NWUPP) at Refine Church, I probably wouldn’t have my degree. I’m very thankful I took the opportunity when I did, and I suggest you do the same.

”The northwest partnership program has been a very special experience. It has opened my eyes to new possibilities, spiritual growth, and career growth. Thanks to this program I have been able to see different aspects of the word of God and learn how carry myself as a better Christian. It has given me a new level of professional skills in my academic career that I did not know I had.”
