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

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

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).
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.
T.A.I. 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.
5
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.
The authorization of degree-granting entities is a governmental function in the United States.
Applying for state authorization and meeting state standards is the way that United States degree-
granting institutions obtain their authority to issue degrees and operate under the legal authority
given to them by state governments. State authorization is the normal method through which
degree-granting colleges are established.
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
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.
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.
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.
6
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.
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.
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:

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
