Worldwide Christian Leadership
WCLU brings theological education to leaders of the Christian faith around the globe. Worldwide Christian Leadership University offers degree programs for students seeking academic advancement and preparation for professional service in Christian ministry. The University was founded as a need to reach the globe with its sister institution Christocratic University in 2010. The administrative headquarters are in New York City. The University specifically offers flexible and affordable distance/online education and in person intensives in a variety of delivery methods.
The University
Worldwide Christian Leadership University is a ministry designed to assist in the task of “equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the Body of Christ (Ephesians 4:12).” Our role is to assist the local church leader in preparing leaders for service in their church and community. We believe that the church needs flexible delivery systems to accomplish the Great Commission of reaching all nations (Matthew 28).
We were founded for the purpose of developing leaders and making available a dynamic educational and training system of high academic excellence, international in scope, and able to be contextualized to meet the specific needs of your individual church and ministries.
We provide a comprehensive four-year curriculum consisting of a variety of courses to train men and women for effective leadership service. There are other ways that we train future leaders with weekly or monthly classes as well as mentoring programs, online and offline.
Worldwide Christian Leadership University makes it possible for Christian leaders and workers to fulfill their goals of completing their education and/or receiving academic credit, all without leaving their community, family, job, or local church.

Accreditation
At this stage, the WCLU is not accredited by the governmental accrediting agencies, the Department of Education or chartered by any state department of education. The WCLU degree programs also do not meet any particular local, state, or national licensing or credentialing requirements. This is to allow the school to provide a basic educational experience comprised of valuable and unique courses that meet the needs of our faith-based students within the time frame that is most convenient for them. It also means that when you graduate, you will receive a diploma and not a degree. This does not mean, though, that you will not receive a strong education. The faculty members are committed to providing each and every student with a quality education along with effective advisement so that each student can work through the program and receive the type of education that they are seeking.
The WCLU is governed ultimately by the Board of Trustees. At the same time, as a religiously sponsored educational institution, the Worldwide Christian Leadership University and its Board is guided by the Council of International Charismatic Ministry (CICM), which is, in turn, supervised by the Council of International Charismatic Bishops (CICB). Headquartered in the United States. This Kingdom centered leadership is represented by 150 clergy and 50 governing bodies throughout the world.
In terms of the transfer of credits or semester hours either into your program at WCLU or to an accredited higher education institution, the acceptance of transfer credits or work done in another institution is the sole right of the receiving institution. Therefore, students wishing to transfer credits or semester hours from another program or school into WCLU, WCLU’s policy is noted in a following section. However, students wishing to transfer work from WCLU to an accredited institution, will not be able to do so in most cases as accredited schools have set policies on such requests. In addition, upon graduation from WCLU, graduates should not note on a Resume or Curriculum Vitae that they have earned a “degree” from WCLU. This is for your protection.
