Welcome to Life College and Seminary

On behalf of Life College and Seminary, it is our pleasure to extend a warm welcome and share a bit about our institution. Life College is a leader in Christian, ministry, and biblical education—offering a unique dual-education model that combines both secular and non-secular studies. Our institution is proudly affiliated with several reputable organizations, some of which trace their roots back to the oldest educational efforts in the United States, dating as far back as 1870. In some instances, our degrees are accepted at other institutions, including regionally accredited universities.

I’ve been involved in international education and training for many years, starting back in the AWANA Clubs in the 1960’s. For more information about my background and training, I have provided a link to my latest interview: https://boldjourney.com/meet-chaplain-stephen-r-barnhart/

At Life College, we are honored to walk alongside you as you pursue your calling. Whether you are seeking to deepen your understanding of the Word, prepare for ministry, or earn business or educational certification, we are here to support you every step of the way.

Our faculty and staff have walked the same path you're on. We understand the challenges and sacrifice it can involve—but take heart, you are not alone. As you grow in biblical knowledge and theological depth, you will also strengthen your relationship with Christ. Each course you complete will open new opportunities—what we refer to as "Philadelphia Doors"—doors that no one can shut, as written in Revelation 3:7–8.

We believe that acquiring proper training and credentials is not just important—it is essential to fulfilling the call of God on your life. Without the right preparation, certain ministry opportunities may remain out of reach. At Life College, we are committed to helping you be ready—spiritually, academically, and professionally—for whatever God has planned.

Welcome to Life College. We’re excited to see what God will do in and through you.

Regards,
Stephen R. Barnhart, MBA, Ed.D, Ph.D. President, Life College, and Seminary

American Association For Higher Education & Accreditation www.aahea.org statement on the Brutal Murder of our Brother In Christ Charlie Kirk

AAHEA and all of our Affiliates and Ministry Partners would like to express our deep sadness and shock over today's blatant Assassination of Turning Point USA Founder, and Conservative Speaker Charlie Kirk.

We affirm that this was nothing more than a cowardly, unnecessary and heinous act of senseless violence against our Brother In Christ, who was also a devoted loving Husband and Father.

He was gunned down solely for the fact that the Biblical and Conservative truths he bravely proclaimed daily, that quickly quieted the voices of nonsense disagreed with someone's liberal agenda that had not the courage to simply debate the issues but instead chose to end our Brother's life.

Our Prayers and thoughts are with Charlie's Wife and two beautiful young children and all his family who have been criminally deprived of their loved one as well as the Team at Turning Point USA who we will stand with in continuing to unapologetically proclaim the truth from God's Word including the message of Salvation by Faith Alone, In Grace and Christ Alone daily.

We also pray that for anyone responsible for this tragic act, that justice will be swiftly and efficiently administered, with punishment to the fullest extent of the law.
