Key Summary
About: The online Associate of Theology from Christian Leadership University combines biblical study, experiential revelation, and spiritual formation. It promises a personal encounter with God's voice to move theology from intellectual knowledge into daily practice. The flexible, self-paced Associate of Theology (A.Th.) balances scripture study, ministry skills, and spirit-led learning to equip believers, ministers, and church workers.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can serve as ministry assistant, youth leader, lay pastor, community mentor, or in church administration and nonprofit outreach. You'll develop teaching, pastoral care, leadership, and Bible-interpretation skills, and you can progress to advanced theological study or broader vocational ministry roles.
When you gain a first-hand, personal, and experiential encounter with the Truth, you will be set free from the power and limitations of sin and released to live in righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit! That is what sound, Spirit-inspired theology can do for you!
Are there spiritual truths you know are real but have not yet fully seen at work in your life? Do you hunger for more than intellectual faith?
Knowledge without revelation leaves truth untested—mere theory. But when revelation ignites faith, truth becomes living and active in you. Are you ready to move your theology from your head into your daily walk?
If so, then an Associate Degree in Theology from Christian Leadership University is exactly where your journey begins.
An Online Associate of Theology Built Around the Voice of God
You are invited to encounter the transforming power of God’s voice—the heartbeat of our online Associate of Theology program. This degree is designed not just to build biblical understanding but to bring spiritual transformation. It’s ideal for believers, ministers, and workers yearning for a deeper, more personal study of Scripture.
“Can I Hear the Voice of God as I Study?”
Absolutely!
You are 100% guaranteed to hear Him. If you don’t, then we haven’t fulfilled our calling—and you haven’t received the greatest treasure this program offers.
God longs to speak with you personally, to shape your theology through His living voice. As you study, He will stir in you a burning passion for His Word and a desire to walk in His truth.
Receive learning that enhances your mind, your heart, and your spirit.
Learning that Comes Alive
Many Christian colleges offer online theology degrees, but at CLU, your learning journey is guided moment by moment through revelation and divine instruction. You will learn to recognize and follow God’s voice consistently—not occasionally.
The voice of God is the foundation of everything we do at Christian Leadership University. Join us on this sacred path where the Author of Scripture becomes your personal teacher, drawing you closer to His heart as He leads you into living truth.
The Associate of Theology (A.Th.) is an inspiring online program created for individuals who feel called to deepen their understanding of God’s Word and strengthen their foundation in faith. Designed with flexibility in mind, this program empowers students to learn at their own pace while exploring the rich truths of Scripture and practical ministry. With a balance of academic excellence and spiritual growth, students are equipped to apply theological principles in real-world settings—whether in their church, community, or personal walk with God.
The courses listed below may be taken as a Theology Certificate or applied as a major concentration toward the online Associate of Theology Degree.
Additional work is required when an undergraduate-level course is taken on the graduate level. Course substitutions and combining major concentrations are possible when working toward your Theology Degree online. Discuss these options with the Dean.
The key is to follow God’s passion within your heart. Students in the Master’s and Doctoral programs earn approximately 30 credits for each degree from specific courses, and the remaining 10 credits by doing practical ministry work and earning “practica” credits.
