Northland International University

Coach Paul Whitt

Coach Whitt came to Northland in August of 2005 after serving nearly eleven years as the youth pastor at Berean Baptist Church (Lilburn, GA). He is entering his sixth season with the Lady Pioneers, his fifth as head coach. The Lady Pioneers have a 45–42 record under Coach Whitt while competing in the difficult Mid West Region of NCCAAII.

"I absolutely love the opportunity to coach these young ladies, and especially to coach at a place like Northland. The philosophy of ministry is what brought me here, and that philosophy impacts every part of the institution, including the Athletic department. I coach for the opportunity to disciple. Wins and losses are important, but not the most important thing. Our players know we’re more concerned with seeing them grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ than any accomplishment they can achieve on the floor. That’s why team devotionals, serving in local churches, and going on missions’ trips are as much a part of my team planning as practices and games. At the same time, we desire to be good stewards of all that God has provided, including physical talents and abilities, so we are required to give it our all every practice and every game.”

Coach Whitt and his wife, Christie, have three children: Emily, 15; Alexander, 13; and Jackson, 9. He also serves at Northland as the VP for Student Affairs and Camp Ministries.
