Credit for Life Experience

Your Ministry
Counts Toward
Your Degree

We at LBCS recognize that many of our students have invested much of their lives serving the Lord. Years of preaching, evangelism, pastoral ministry, missionary work, and Christian service represent real learning — and we want to honor that.

Upon request, students may be granted up to 40% of credit hours toward their undergraduate or graduate degree based on life experience. Each request is evaluated individually upon receipt of application.

This is one of the many ways LBCS removes the barriers between faithful servants of God and the credential that reflects their calling.

40%
of required credit hours may be awarded for documented life experience in ministry — for both undergraduate and graduate programs.
