Academics

At Victory Family Leadership College, we believe that academic excellence and spiritual formation go hand in hand. Our mission is to provide students with a Bible-based education that serves as an essential part of their development as they strive to be more like Jesus in thought and action.

By partnering with several institutions, we offer flexible pathways designed to equip the next generation of leaders for their unique calling.

Our Academic Partners

To ensure every student finds the right fit for their future, VFLC offers three primary academic tracks:

  • Nelson University (Formerly SAGU): Through our partnership, students receive a 60% tuition discount toward church leadership degrees. These courses provide one of the best Christian higher education programs available, led by expert professors, and result in a fully accredited university degree.

  • Global University: We also offer several pathways through Global University.
    Students can pursue Ministerial Licensing with the Assemblies of God or work toward an Associate or Bachelor of Arts degree. This option provides a low-cost, credit-by-credit approach to ministerial preparation and academic growth.

  • Flexible Online Learning: VFLC supports the "University of Your Choice." Students have the freedom to enroll in any accredited online university while still benefiting from the mentorship, community, and hands-on leadership training provided at VFLC.

Program Cost Info Sheet:

To help you navigate your options and plan for your future, we have provided a comprehensive Program Cost Info Sheet below. This resource offers a side-by-side breakdown of the annual costs for each of our academic tracks.

When reviewing these costs, please note the following:

  • VFLC Site Fee: This is a $1,000 annual fee that covers the costs of participating in the Leadership College. This fee supports your local mentorship, leadership training, and use of the VFLC facilities. (Note: For Option A, this fee is already included in your Nelson University tuition payment).
