Dr. James E. Sweeney, Ph.D.
Interim President
At the heart of every successful and effective educational institution is a competent and committed faculty. These are the men and women who are on the leading edge of the college and its mission. They meet the students in the classroom, where the energizing task of teaching/learning takes place. They represent the heartbeat of the educational process.
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 fields, they contribute to students’ intellectual and spiritual growth as they provide quality instruction. But quality instruction alone is not the full story of their contributions. They are set apart by their servant spirit, a spirit of Christ-likeness. They share their lives, enhancing the educational experience.
