The school was founded as a divinity school in 1895 by Disciple of Christ preacher Eugene C. Sanderson as the Eugene Divinity School. After a series of name changes and a merger, it became known as Northwest Christian College in 1934.

On July 1, 2008 the school will be renamed Northwest Christian University, to better reflect the current vision, mission and values of the institution. At the same time, the Bible and Christian Ministry department will be spun off from the School of Arts and Sciences into a free-standing School of Christian Ministry.
