    The courses can be completed at your own pace and from the convenience of your digital device. We anticipate that most students will complete the diploma in six months to a year.

  • What makes a diploma different from a degree?

    A diploma is specific and streamlined, while a degree includes more general courses. Church Answers University seeks to offer quality Christian education for those who desire further training without the cost and time commitment of a degree.

  • Do churches accept diplomas as a requisite for employment?

    Though we can’t speak for all churches, we have seen a paradigmatic shift among churches as they consider pastors and other staff. These churches no longer require specific degrees as much as they want to see that the prospective pastor or staff member has completed training for ministry. We anticipate that many churches will gladly accept a diploma, particularly one from Church Answers University.

  • Is Church Answers University an accredited institution?

    CAU diplomas have recently been accredited by the GAOCC.

  • Does CAU compete with seminaries, Bible colleges, and universities?

    CAU offers an alternative and innovative form of ministry training and education. However, there will always be a place for seminaries, Bible colleges, and universities.

  • What is your doctrinal statement?
    • We believe the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures are the inspired and infallible Word of God. God’s Word is the final authority for faith and life.
    • We believe there is only one God, and He has chosen to reveal Himself as God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
    • We believe people were created in the image of God, and the sin of Adam (the first person) marred that image, creating an eternal divide between God and people. Every person is born in sin.
    • We believe the only way a person can have a true, forgiven relationship with God is through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary and conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus became man without ceasing to be God. Our right standing with God is made sure because of His literal, physical resurrection.
    • We believe in the literal, physical return of Jesus to judge the living and the dead.
    • We believe God offers eternal life as a free gift and that it must be received by faith alone through God’s grace alone.
    • We believe the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local body of believers on a mission to enlarge God’s kingdom.
  • Does CAU qualify for continuing education?

    Certain religious denominations or networks require their church leaders to complete continued education to maintain their license or ordination. Church Answers University provides an opportunity for church leaders to satisfy their continuing education by learning through relevant and helpful courses designed for today’s church leaders.
