The NPU Gospel Choir, including a 40-member touring ensemble, is one of the most popular music ensembles at the school. The repertoire of the choir is drawn from the great composers of sacred music of the spiritual and gospel genres. The touring ensemble performs at summer conferences such as Covenant High in Christ (CHIC), along with other selected special events at local schools and churches in the Chicagoland area throughout the academic year. The Gospel Choir appears on the school's Worship CD entitled Cry Holy.

Conductor Rollo Dilworth is a member of the faculty of the School of Music, where he serves as an assistant professor of music and director of choral activities. A published composer of choral music, with emphasis in the areas of spirituals and gospel inspired works, Dilworth is in his seventh season as director of the Gospel Choir.
