Mission Statement
The mission of Northland International University is (1) to glorify God by providing an educational environment for developing servant-leaders in honesty, obedience, wisdom, and service to love Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, and mind; and (2) to train students to live by the principles of God's Word, to walk with God as His faithful laborers, and to serve in local churches for revival, world evangelization, and the discipling of future generations for the cause of Jesus Christ.
Purpose Statement
Prepare Servant-Leaders for Great Commission Living
Philosophy of Education
The goal of Northland International University is to provide an atmosphere of academic excellence and classroom discipleship to prepare servant-leaders for Great Commission living. True education produces individuals with both “hands of skill and hearts for God” (Psalm 78:72). The Northland faculty is committed to training individuals whose chief desire is to serve the Lord so that they will be motivated to serve others in their chosen field of ministry.
We believe that truth is centered in Jesus Christ and that all knowledge should be related to Him. We believe the Bible should be the philosophical foundation for all subject matter and that it is a faithful guide for all curricular and pedagogical decisions. By committing ourselves to carefully and purposefully delivering truth in the classroom, we seek to produce servant-leaders who can likewise communicate biblical truth with clarity and passion.
To accomplish this goal, we strive to offer courses that provide students with both academic theory and character development in a rich, hands-on learning environment. This emphasis allows us to equip students with the ability to confront the unforeseen challenges of the future while enabling them to have immediate success in a variety of ministry settings.
