In 2008 Salem Bible College (SBC) located in Salem, Oregon merged with Northwest University to become Salem Bible College of Northwest University. “For students at Salem Bible College, this merger offers two immediate benefits: they can apply for Federal Financial Aid, and the degree they earn will be accredited (by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities).” “Two people, in particular, deserve credit for this merger,” says Castleberry. “First, Rev. Bill Wilson, Superintendent of the Oregon Ministry Network, has provided vision and leadership to make it happen. And Carley Kendrick, President of SBC, has shown the heart of a true servant in this entire process.” In 2019 the Salem Bible College of Northwest University had its name changed to NU Oregon.
