FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Applying
How quickly will I receive a response after submitting my application?
Please allow 5 – 7 business days to receive email communication from our admissions team regarding your application. Please allow up to 3 weeks for a final decision on your acceptance to LCU. Thank you for your patience!
Does the university offer financial aid or student loans?
Lifestyle Christianity University
Scholarships and financial aid options for students are very limited for students at this time. Because Lifestyle Christianity is non-accredited, students raise their finances by either working before coming to LCU or having friends, family, church members or churches support them. We believe that God is more than able to provide the resources for you to attend. Seek Him about your interest in LCU and believe that He is directing your steps and can provide the resources necessary to attend.
Concurrent Enrollment with Grand Canyon University
Students who are concurrently enrolled with Grand Canyon University and LCU are eligible to apply for financial aid through the government by completing the free online application: https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa.

Christian Universities
Many additional Christian universities offer ‘life experience credit’ for those that have completed non-accredited programs. Accredited institutions have unique life experience credit policies that vary by institution. These policies often include detailed procedures for life experience documentation as well as policies defining maximum life experience credits allowed at both the undergraduate and graduate (Master’s) level. LCU students that wish to explore ‘life experience credits’ should communicate directly with the accredited institutions that they wish to attend to see if ‘life experience credits’ are foreseeable at the accredited institution that they wish to attend.

Students will need to locate their own housing prior to beginning their first semester. LCU does not endorse any specific website, realtor, apartment, or home and does not moderate the Facebook Group provided for roommate connections. The information is presented as a service. To learn more about the options available for housing and find out how to locate a roommate, check out our Accomodations page by clicking here.

Shopping
Will I be able to work while I’m a student?
Yes, you will have the option to have a part-time job. We recommend a maximum of 20 hours per week to allow time for homework, teaching, and off-campus application of what you are learning. This will help you maintain a focused and balanced lifestyle as well as cover additional living expenses.
Are the student outreach times included within the 8:30am -1:00pm schedule each day?
Outreach times are scheduled three times per week during the 8:30am – 1:00pm classroom time. Additionally, students will ‘practice’ what they learn outside the classroom in their day-to-day life and are able to connect with others through the outreach feature on the latest version of Lifestyle Christianity’s mobile app.
Participation in Weekly, City-wide Training & Outreach Events
LCU students will encourage and train people from across the Dallas-Fort Worth area to grow in a lifestyle of Christianity each Sunday night at 6pm. This weekly night of worship, training, and outreach takes place at the Lifestyle Christianity Training Center and allows students to walk out the practical application of what they are learning Monday-Friday in classes. Starting Fall 2019, Sunday nights are a required time of weekly training for LCU students and an integral part of the LCU curriculum because of the opportunity to train and equip others in what they are learning throughout the week.
For more information about Love In Action, please visit lifestylechristianity.com/event.
Are there church members in the area that would rent a room or house to one or more students?
As local church members reach out to us about these opportunities, we will be posting each opportunity on the Student Connections Facebook Group. We provide these details as a service and ask students to use discretion as they consider each of these opportunities for housing.
What times during the week will I be able to work a part-time job?
Students are required to be on campus Monday through Friday from 8:30 am – 1:00 pm as well as Friday nights from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm for Love in Action.

The University projects to run four separate programs simultaneously in the coming semesters (Lifestyle 1, 2, 3, and 4). As a result, we do not expect to offer night classes or other part-time options as University staff and facility space will be allocated for these programs. If you are currently employed and are unable to attend LCU due to the schedule, we encourage you to engage with our teaching through the Lifestyle Christianity mobile app and online media.
About
Who is Todd White?
Todd is the President and Founder of Lifestyle Christianity and Lifestyle Christianity University. Todd was a drug addict and atheist for 22 years—when in 2004—he was radically set free! He wholeheartedly believes that redemption and righteousness are the foundational keys for living life as a new creation in Christ. Todd’s foremost desire is to see the Holy Spirit flowing through believers everywhere that they go–at work, school, grocery stores, malls, gas stations, and more. Todd’s true joy is being able to reproduce a 24/7 kingdom lifestyle in every believer. His heart is to activate people in the simplicity of who they really are and confront the barriers that hold them back from being who God created them to be. No one is excluded!
What does Lifestyle Christianity do?
Lifestyle Christianity is committed to teaching the practical truths of the Bible with a specific focus on redemption and identity in Christ. Through Todd’s teaching and preaching as well as the use of media, Lifestyle Christianity extends the message of the Gospel. Through Power and Love training events and Lifestyle Christianity University, the ministry creates a “teach and do” environment where participants are expected to take risks to stretch their faith and grow in their understanding of God.

Connection
As an LCU student, will I be able to schedule a time to meet with Todd?
This has been one of the most challenging things for Todd. He would love to be able to personally meet with each student that attends LCU. However, due to time constraints with his family, his many responsibilities, and his desire to stay faithful to God and focused on the Lord’s call for his life, he is not able to meet individually with University students. When he is not speaking at LCU or other events, he focuses his time on his family. Fortunately, we have a wonderful LCU staff with weekly availability to encourage you and strengthen you in your walk with the Lord.
Can I volunteer at Lifestyle Christianity University?
We so appreciate the incredible volunteers that step up to serve at our local Lifestyle Christianity events. If you are interested in volunteering, fill out our online contact form and mention the specific areas that interest you most!
I have a job opportunity for LCU students. How do I advertise this?
Thank you so much for considering LCU students for a position at your church, ministry, and/or business. Please feel free to send the details concerning any opportunities via our online contact form, and we will recommend these roles to our students as we see fit.
