Program description

Life Changing University is a distance education school of theology and ministry. Recognizing that it is not practical for all who are called to ministry to leave their homes or places of ministry to attend a conventional “brick and mortar” school, Life Changing U brings quality, affordable, accessible ministry and theological training to where students live and work.

All of our programs are custom made with the student’s needs and interests in mind. We recognize that most students do not fit into a “cookie cutter” academic program, so we take great pains to provide the courses that will best prepare them for what the Lord has called them to do — for students in urban, suburban, rural, and international settings alike.

We currently offer degrees in Applied Theology, Biblical Studies, Christian Counseling, Christian Education, Leadership and Organization, Theology, and Theological Studies — all from the Associate to the Doctoral level.

Life Changing U provides a unique opportunity for students to prepare themselves academically, professionally, and spiritually to serve God in the ministry and professions to which they have been called. As an independent educational ministry, thoroughly Biblical in its philosophy of education, LCU is a servant to both the local church and the individual student.
