NWC started as a Christian Liberal Arts College in Fall of 2009.  Previous to the founding of the college, a dedicated group of 15 individuals, concerned with the wrong direction and philosophy of American colleges, met and prayed for guidance beginning in 2004.  The Lord showed this group many wonderful things as they sought His guidance over these five years.  The College began offering classes in Rio Rancho, but classes quickly spread to Albuquerque.  Classes met in Church facilities across the city.  Today, the college enjoys nice classroom space at Faith Church in Rio Rancho, Hoffamntown Church in Albuquerque, and has an attractive office at Calvary Chapel Duke City. 

In 2026, we began our 17th year of offering classes.  In addition to regular in-person college classes, NWC also offers zoom classes, seminars and workshops of various lengths, and pastor certification programs for East African pastors.  The college presents a Christian worldview in each of our classes, and our Christian faculty are dedicated to the Lord and to helping their students.  There is special emphasis in offering science classes from a Creation perspective and not the incorrect evolution perspective.  America's Christian history and heritage is also presented in our history classes.  The College desires to serve the community in three ways:  Classes taken in a four year sequence to earn any of our five BA degrees, Workshops and seminars to help our students in various special interests and  ministries, and granting certification for pastoral ministry.  Our goal is "Equipping for Service" all who desire a Christian College education.
