In a world full of distractions, doubts, and shifting values, Christian education remains one of the surest ways to anchor believers in truth, purpose, and calling. Doug Wingate Ministries, through Life Christian University (LCU), is committed to raising up leaders, ministers, and everyday believers who are equipped to serve, minister, and transform their communities.
The Foundation: Biblical Truth & Faith
Christian education begins with Scripture — not simply reading, but knowing, studying, understanding. At LCU, courses are faith-based and rooted in the Bible. “What we teach, we believe; what we believe shapes how we live.” That means doctrines like salvation, healing, prophecy, spiritual gifts, authority — all are taught in context and with power. Dr. Wingate’s testimony — from rock-n-roll drummer to minister, from struggle with addiction to transformation — points to how faith and truth can reshape life.
Leadership and Ministry Training
It takes more than passion to build lasting ministry. It takes character, discipline, theological grounding, hands-on experience. LCU has graduated over 25,000 ministers across extension campuses in 40 states and 24 foreign countries, and through the online education program. Students are trained not only in the classroom but in real ministry settings: evangelism, pastoral care, healing services. They are shaped to lead, to preach, to heal, to teach.
Education Tailored for Today
Technology, media, globalization — all shape how people connect with faith. LCU offers online courses (for example, Divine Healing and Health, Principles of Faith and Miracles) so that distance is not a barrier. Students from different cultures, nations, and demographics can access training with relevance. Christian education must be accessible, relevant and transformative.
Transforming Lives Through Service
Christian education shouldn’t be self-centered. It should equip you to serve others. Ministry becomes a platform for impact — in local churches, in missions, through healing services. Under Doug Wingate’s leadership, many have taken what they learned and serve the sick, the poor, the brokenhearted. Lives are changed not only in the classroom but in streets, hospitals, homes.
The Ripple Effect
When one believer is equipped, the effect ripples outward:
Families get strengthened
Churches become healthier
Communities see transformation
Nations are touched
Because what starts in the heart of a disciple flows outward. Christian education multiplies impact.
If you feel a calling to grow, if you want to be equipped to serve better, or if you sense God stirring something in your life, take that next step. Enroll at Life Christian University. Dive into a course. Join community. Because the world needs trained, faithful, bold followers of Christ who live out their calling. LCUonline.com
