Welcome to Life College and Seminary

On behalf of Life College and Seminary, it is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome and share a bit about our institution. Life College is a leader in Christian, ministry, and biblical education—offering a unique dual-education model that combines both secular and non-secular studies. Our institution is proudly affiliated with several reputable organizations, some of which trace their roots back to the oldest educational efforts in the United States, dating as far back as 1870. In some instances, our degrees are accepted at other institutions, including regionally accredited universities.

I’ve been involved in international education and training for many years, starting back in the AWANA Clubs in the 1960’s. For more information about my background and training, I have provided a link to my latest interview: https://boldjourney.com/meet-chaplain-stephen-r-barnhart/

At Life College, we are honored to walk alongside you as you pursue your calling. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of the Word, prepare for ministry, or earn business or educational certification, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Our faculty and staff have walked the same path you're on. We understand the challenges and sacrifice it can involve—but take heart, you are not alone. As you grow in biblical knowledge and theological depth, you will also strengthen your relationship with Christ. Each course you complete will open new opportunities—what we refer to as "Philadelphia Doors"—doors that no one can shut, as written in Revelation 3:7–8.

We believe that acquiring proper training and credentials is not just important—it is essential to fulfilling the call of God on your life. Without the right preparation, certain ministry opportunities may remain out of reach. At Life College, we are committed to helping you be ready—spiritually, academically, and professionally—for whatever God has planned.

Welcome to Life College. We’re excited to see what God will do in and through you.

Regards,
Stephen R. Barnhart, MBA, Ed.D, Ph.D. President, Life College, and Seminary

I think the Secret Service has learned a new, worn out word, "paradigm shift" which has been around for quite a spell. First referred to back in 1962, but a new term to many. :-0

ATTEN: IHOP IHOPU Former Students. We have many schools, colleges and universities where you can continue your studies. I had contacted them several times before, but never a reply until now, to mention they are now closed down.

IHOPU was not an accredited school, but we have options that can lead to a secular or non-secular, recognized degree.
