Year 1: Encounter Jesus

A Foundation for Ministry, Identity, and Transformation

At Lifestyle Christianity University, Year 1 is all about discovering your identity in Christ and learning how to live from that truth every day. Whether you’re new to ministry or just hungry to grow, this first year lays the essential groundwork for your walk with Jesus Christ. 

This is where it all begins—how to start discipleship that’s Spirit-led, grounded in Scripture, and activated in daily life. You’ll gain a deeper relationship with Jesus, clarity about who you are in Him, and the tools to live boldly in your faith.

Ministry Training That Starts with the Heart

We believe that true ministry training begins not with learning how to lead others—but by learning how to follow Jesus. In Year 1, we focus on building an authentic relationship with God, allowing His presence to shape your character, your calling, and your confidence.

Through worship, powerful teaching, and community discipleship, you’ll learn how to hear God’s voice, share your faith, and minister with love. This is a year of transformation—from the inside out.

Walking With the Holy Spirit

You weren’t meant to figure it all out alone. That’s why a big part of Year 1 is about walking with the Holy Spirit. Through daily time in prayer and worship, you’ll develop spiritual sensitivity and learn how to rely on the Holy Spirit as your guide, teacher, and comforter.

You’ll grow in spiritual disciplines that help you walk in step with God’s heart—not just during school hours, but in everyday life.

Learning God’s Word

At LCU, we don’t just read the Bible—we build our lives on it. Year 1 students engage in immersive Bible studies designed to help you in learning God’s Word and apply it with wisdom and power.

You’ll study key topics like:

  • The Gospel of the Kingdom
  • Righteousness
  • Living Free
  • Lifestyle Evangelism
  • Sonship
  • Righteousness
  • Spiritual Formation
  • Biblical Maturity

Every lesson connects you to the unshakable truth of the Word of God and shows how Scripture applies to your identity, your decisions, and your purpose.

Living the Christian Life

This year is a call to live the Christian life with boldness and joy. You’ll join a passionate community, form meaningful relationships, and step into the joy of sharing Jesus everywhere you go—from classrooms to coffee shops.

You’ll not only discover who God is, but who you are in Him.

If you’re ready to go deeper in your faith, start your ministry journey, or reignite your relationship with Jesus, Year 1 at LCU is your next step. This is more than a program—it’s a powerful launch into the life God created you to live.
