Lifestyle Evangelism & Discipleship Training
Discover what it means to live a bold Christian life—on mission, every day.
At Lifestyle Christianity University, our heart is to train and send out bold believers who carry the love of Jesus Christ beyond the local church—living the gospel as a lifestyle.
LCU is an equipping program designed to disciple that helps students build their identity in Christ, walk in freedom, and become powerful witnesses of the gospel. Through hands-on, affordable, community-based Christian leadership training, we raise up leaders grounded in God’s Word who are equipped to impact every sphere of society.
Our vision is to reproduce sons and daughters conformed to the image of God who live a Kingdom lifestyle in every sphere of influence.
LCU offers a 2-year program with a 3rd year internship.
This certificate program includes daily worship, Bible-based ministry classes, small group discipleship, and practical outreach opportunities called “love in action.” Classroom time runs Monday–Thursday, 8:30 AM–1:00 PM.
Students study the Bible, grow in the Holy Spirit, and develop practical skills for ministry leadership.

This degree recognizes your biblical and ministry training, with transferable credits for future academic paths. Open to eligible students 17+, it’s available both online and on campus—while our non-degree path remains unchanged.
