We Met Our Campaign Goal!
Total: $23,580,886
We Exceeded Our Campaign Goal of $23.55 Million!
On Wednesday, August 19, 2026, we announced the successful completion of Phase I of our comprehensive Amplify the Gospel campaign. We envisioned this to be a three-year journey, but God had different plans. We exceeded our $23.55 million goal in just two years—a record-breaking achievement and one of the most successful campaigns in our organization’s history. Thank you to the many who partnered with us through prayer, pledges, and gifts, both large and small.
The successful completion of this campaign is not an ending but an important and encouraging beginning in a multi-year journey.
Every vision begins with two questions:
Who are we? Where are we going?
WHO ARE WE
At Northwestern, we reaffirm our identity with our mission and commitment to historic Christian orthodoxy.
Northwestern is unwavering in its commitment to historic Christian orthodoxy, anchored in the inerrant, authoritative, infallible, and inspired Word of God.
Historic Christianity promotes moral and spiritual formation, intellectual inquiry, discovery, ingenuity, imagination, and creativity. Connecting faith and reason to solve the most urgent and pressing needs of the world.
WHO ARE WE
Mission is crucial to Northwestern’s identity as an organization.
As a Christ-centered institution of higher education, we exist to equip students to grow intellectually and spiritually, to serve effectively in their professions, and to give God honoring leadership in the home, church, community, and world.
As a media ministry, we exist to lead people to Christ and nurture believers in their spiritual growth.
This campaign is not an undertaking to help Northwestern survive. It is, instead, an effort to position Northwestern to thrive and to amplify the gospel, delivering the Good News to people who otherwise may never hear it.
WHO ARE WE
In all of these initiatives, Northwestern has proven itself capable of success.
Through God’s providence, we are seeing an alignment of five components that lead us to believe the time is ripe for a campaign of this magnitude.
We are focused on mission fidelity, proficiency, industry, market, and fiscal responsibility.

Classical Christian Honors College
The inaugural CCHC cohort completed the first of their three-year journey in the Great Books & Ideas program this past academic year in the Honors Commons, a space inside Nazareth Hall that was remodeled for this college.
“We thank God for you and for a tremendous inaugural year. It has been a joy to walk alongside our students through the Scriptures and great texts in the Greek, Roman, and early Christian eras. Our discussions have been rich with life-shaping relevance and deep bonds have been formed. Most importantly, students have grown in love for God and in their ability to pursue truth, goodness, and beauty in all of life. We look forward to what God has in store as we welcome two additional cohorts this fall.” — C. Ryan Griffith, Ph.D., Dean of the Classical Christian Honors College
Biomedical Technology
To meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in biomedical technology, University of Northwestern’s School of Science & Engineering has expanded our offerings. We are committed to quipping qualified, Christ-centered engineers to bring ethical leadership, innovative thinking, and technical expertise to a rapidly advancing biomedical field.
“As a Christian engineer, I’m looking to make the world a better place not because I live in it, but for the glory of God. I desire to care for others by improving their lives through medical devices, and Northwestern’s School of Engineering has equipped me with the necessary problem-solving skills to design and create devices that will positively impact people.” — Timothy Moyer ’26
National Media Enterprise
We have a tremendous ability to amplify the gospel through our various offerings, including radio stations, signals, and podcasts. We are now broadcasting coast to coast and will continue to grow our media enterprise so that more people can be reached with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
“At its heart, Northwestern Media exists to share the hope of Jesus Christ. That calling has shaped our past, and it must guide our future as we pursue new ways to reach more people in more places.” —Jason Sharp, Senior Vice President for Northwestern Media
Sustaining Our Momentum
More Ways To Amplify
