Church Answers University is an online training institution that offers a variety of different ministry diplomas designed for today’s church leaders. Each diploma comprises ten courses, including video training from experienced Christian leaders and scholars, a course textbook, and digital learning guides.
Church Answers University offers four diploma programs: Diploma in Christian Ministry, Diploma in Church Leadership, Diploma in Women’s Discipleship, and Diploma in Worship Ministry.
The courses can be completed at your own pace and from the convenience of your digital device. Diplomas consist of ten courses that are approximately five hours long each. The total class time to complete Church Answers University is fifty hours, not including reading time, quizzes, and additional study. We anticipate that most students will complete the diploma in six months to a year.
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.
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 most churches will gladly accept a diploma, particularly a diploma from Church Answers University.
CAU offers diplomas rather than degrees and is accredited by GAOCC.
CAU offers an alternative and innovative form of ministry training and education. There will always be a place for seminaries, Bible colleges, and universities.
All textbooks are included in the cost of diploma tuition, meaning there is no additional cost for textbooks.
The course content consists of approximately five hours of video content accompanied by a textbook, learner guide, and quiz. Each course comprises twenty-five classes, ranging from nine to fifteen minutes. CAU courses are intentionally designed to be efficient and effective in training today’s church leaders.
