New Life University (NLU) is a school and community that brings hope, healing, and healers to the Body of Christ. Our mission is to provide quality training that brings together the best of Biblical thought and secular education. We believe that emotional and spiritual healing is the new evangelism and that hurting, broken people are a harvest field in need of the healing power of God and His church. If you desire to (a) help others, (b) make a difference in their world, and (c) live out the call of Christ to reach the lost, heal the brokenhearted, and care for the hurting in our world then the training programs offered through NLU are for you.
Our pastoral counseling programs offer credentialing through the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA) (Contact the Dean of Students for distance and local student options). Please be aware that individuals with felony convictions do not qualify for licensing with the NCCA. NCCA certification and national licensing is not to be identified nor confused with state licensing in any way. It is intended for a person who wants to practice as a servant of the Body of Christ. The authority to counsel is granted by the Church and is recognized by the State. In addition to the training offered by NLU, the NCCA requires a ministerial credential to complete the program. We also train Christian Life Coaches to minister to the whole body in the Body. The coaching program is completed entirely online.
