Rev. Dr. LeRoy Haynes Jr.

President

We thank all of our partners and friends for celebrating North Portland Bible College 27th year anniversary at our Friends and Partners Banquet. Your prayers, financial support and service to N.P.B.C can not be measured.

Each prayer, each hour of service, each financial contribution permits us to impact the lives of persons in ministry in local urban Churches, Para-Churches or World Mission with higher education that is biblical-based, relevant and academic sound and affordable.

Many of our students would not have an opportunity to enter into the classrooms of Christian Higher Education without your support of N.P.B.C.

We major in developing spiritual leaders for all areas of Christian Ministry with a focus on Urban Ministry.

We believe that God has been preparing N.P.B.C “….for such a time as this.” (Esther 4:14)

Faculty

North Portland Bible college faculty are dedicated volunteers. They are community leaders and scholars dedicated to serving in God's Ministry at NPBC. Experts in their field, they contribute to students' intellectual and spiritual growth and share their faith and knowledge with others.
