development of all believers.

It is the mission of Team Impact Christian University to raise up Spirit-anointed leaders who

disciple nations. Our programs have the highest curriculum standards within the framework of

Spirit-anointed Biblical authority. We prepare Christian leaders for Christian service.

All degrees at Team Impact Christian University are earned degrees. This is achieved by

mandatory coursework that must be completed.

OUR PURPOSE

“To edify the body of Christ, to equip God's people for the work of the ministry, to unite in faith,

to grow in quality, quantity, stability and integrity so that the whole body is healthy and growing

and full of love.” - (Ephesians 4 V 11 – 16).

4

OUR AIM

Our aim is to help our students in the following ways:

• Develop a strong and deep relationship with the Lord

• Provide an in-depth understanding of the Word of God

• Make them firm and stable in their walk with the Lord as revealed by the Word through the

ministry of the Holy Spirit

• Prepare them for ministry, leadership, and servant-hood in the body of Christ

• Impart a correct and clear understanding of the Word of God.

• Train and equip future leaders by means of the best training methods

LEGAL STATUS AND ACCREDITATION

Team Impact Christian University is accredited by Theological Accreditation International

(T.A.I.).

TAI is a non-governmental accreditation, extended exclusively to private, Christian institutions

upon inspection and approval of their programs, operations, and integrity and is one of the largest

religious accreditation agencies world-wide and accredits Christian Universities, Theological

Seminaries and Bible Schools in over 30 nations.

The purpose of accreditation is to:

• certify that an institution has met the established standards of excellence

• assist prospective students in identifying reputable institutions, which offer degree

programs that will meet their needs and goals

• allow institutions to evaluate the acceptability of transfer credits into their own curricula

programs

Accreditation is a private, voluntary, non-governmental peer-review process that reviews the

educational quality of an institution or program. In the United States, accreditation is the primary

means of assuring educational quality. Accreditation status confirms that an institution has

voluntarily undergone a comprehensive self-study and peer examination that demonstrates the

institution meets standards of accreditation. To receive accreditation, the institution must clearly

demonstrate that it has established educational goals, offers formal, organized learning

experiences and services that enable students to meet these stated goals and that students and

graduates have benefited from the learning experiences provided. Furthermore, accreditation

assures that an institution operates on a sound financial basis, has approved programs of study,

qualified instructors, adequate facilities and equipment and engages in continual improvement

through self-evaluation and planning and promotes its programs truthfully.

A degree is only valid if it is properly granted by an entity that has the legal authority to do so and

degree-granting authorization cannot be conferred by an accrediting body. Accreditation agencies

are themselves private membership associations and relied upon by many governmental entities to

5

perform certain qualitative and evaluative functions. However, they do not themselves have the

authority to issue degrees nor have the power to authorize the existence of a college or a degree

program.

Government-recognized accreditation is not necessary for the religious vocations in which we are

equipping our students and people working in ministry positions do not need a government-

accredited degree.

Disclaimer Statement

Our courses meet the requirements established by many private, independent, and professional

associations. Various regionally or nationally accredited Christian Universities, colleges and

seminaries throughout the United States may accept transfer students, credits and degrees from

Team Impact Christian University.

Transferability of credits earned at Team Impact Christian University and transferred to another

institution is at the discretion of the receiving institution.

All our Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees are issued from our USA campus in Baton Rouge,

Louisiana, USA where we are registered. All students outside of the USA are considered as online

students of Team Impact Christian University and are registered at our Baton Rouge, USA campus

as such. We have students from more than 30 nations and therefore cannot meet all the legal

and/or accreditation requirements for each nation. Therefore, we are not able to set up a physical

presence in each nation except in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA.

We do not prepare our students for secular work or denominational service. We will seek to

provide a sound theological standing from which our students may fulfill their divine purpose and

calling. We are not responsible for any problems students may have with the higher education

authorities in their own nations.

Every ministry implementing Team Impact Christian University programs must do so under the

name of their own Bible School and they are responsible for ensuring that they operate legally in

their nation. Team Impact Christian University cannot be held responsible for this as we offer our

programs in 30 nations and it is not possible to ensure legal compliance with every nation and for

that reason, we accept that Bible Schools ensure that they comply with the laws of their respective

nations. Every student that is mentored in various institutions world-wide are registered as online

students at our USA campus and we merely supply the books in the various nations through

legitimate book suppliers.

LIFE EXPERIENCE

All degrees at Team Impact Christian University are earned degrees. This is achieved by

mandatory coursework that must be completed.

University transcripts do not always reflect real life experience. Team Impact Christian University

recognizes life experience which may have been gained through years of work which is ministry

related.

6

Many people have served in ministry positions and have gained a lot of knowledge and experience

in their fields, but do not have any formal certificate, diploma, or degree. Life experience credits

can give some of the recognition needed for this service in the work of the Lord.

This acceptance of life credits helps a potential student to accelerate their learning college

experience and enable them to earn a fully accredited ministry related degree. Applicants must

have had more than five years in a recognized position in ministry.

No diplomas or degrees can be awarded based purely upon life-experience. Life experience credit

cannot be given for an entire degree but is limited to a maximum of 30 credit hours.

Life experience which could include such things as books authored, missions trips, classes taught,

outreach ministries, ministries within a church, etc., must be documented along with the years they

occurred and submitted for evaluation.

CREDIT TRANSFERS

Team Impact Christian University can transfer all credits from accredited institutions such as

colleges, seminaries, Christian universities, etc. Courses transferred must be equivalent in content

and requirements to courses in the Team Impact Christian University catalogue.

The credits must be reported on an official transcript. No more than 60 credit hours (including

life credits) may be transferred.

START YOUR OWN SCHOOL

Team Impact Christian University works closely with local Pastors, Christian leaders and local

Churches.

We are aware that there is a growing trend for local Church leaders and pastors to train and equip

their own members in typical Church-based settings. We respect the autonomy of the local Church

and are willing to assist Church leaders in their desire to equip their own people at a local level.

Pastors and Christian Leaders can begin their own ministry-based schools at discounted prices by

registering with our Christian university and implementing our courses as long as they comply

with our terms and conditions. With this form of affordable and accessible schooling, pastors and

Christian leaders can mentor their own members and potential leaders.

All prospective ministries and students must note that Team Impact Christian University is only

registered as a legal degree-granting institution in the United States of America and has no

intention of seeking registration with Departments of Higher Education in any other nation as it’s

legal standing in the United States will suffice.

Every ministry implementing Team Impact Christian University programs must do so under the

name of their own Bible School and they are responsible for ensuring that they operate legally in

7

their nation. Team Impact Christian University cannot be held responsible for this as we offer our

programs in 30 nations and it is not possible to ensure legal compliance with every nation and for

that reason, we accept that Bible Schools ensure that they comply with the laws of their respective

nations. Every student that is mentored in various institutions world-wide are registered as online

students at our USA campus and we merely supply the books in the various nations through

legitimate book suppliers.

STUDY ONLINE

No student has to wait for a full year or semester to start with studies. Different people study at

different paces which means a student can now determine and maintain his or her own pace.

Students can register any time of the year as and when it suits the student best in terms of own

circumstances, whether it be available funds, job requirements or any other circumstances.

Our online learning programs serve students who:

• cannot attend our campus in Baton Rouge

• are unable to attend a Church-based Bible college in their city

• are pursuing a degree, but need to complete some courses through distance delivery

Online education brings the college with all its resources right into your home which you can

access at any time of your choosing.

We have listed a number of advantages of online learning:

• Flexibility - You can access your course materials at any time of the day and night and

from anywhere in the world, as long as you have internet access and a computer or similar

device that has internet accessibility. We can also post your books to you if you choose this

option.

• Convenience - Campus classes are rigid whereas online study can be scheduled around

work and family as long as you are disciplined and put in the necessary hours of work

required for the online classes.

• Access to instructors - you can email your instructor at any time with any question and

have your questions answered promptly. You are the only person competing for the

instructor’s attention.

• Cost saving – Studying online will save you time and money by eliminating the need to

travel to and from campus. The campus is right where you happen to be at any time.

• Access to the world - Every quality resource that you may need to help you complete your

classes is available on the internet. The internet can take you to far-flung places across the

globe and connect you with unique pieces of information that may not be accessible in the

traditional on-campus environment.

world from different cultures which will give you an insight to other worldviews, which

will allow help with your personal growth.
