What others are saying
When I found Dr. Virkler’s course, Communion with God, I immediately enrolled with the intention of taking only that course. But when I began to notice how Communion with God was radically changing my life, I wanted more. So that course led to another and then to another, until, finally, I have now completed the Doctor of Ministry degree in Christian Counseling.
It has been a most remarkable journey, one that I strongly encourage others to take. The faculty and staff at CLU are wonderful. Each loves God deeply, and this love is reflected in their selfless giving to their students. I am so thankful to our Lord, to Drs. Mark and Patti Virkler, to Dr. Karen King, and to the entire faculty and staff at CLU for playing a major role in helping me to become more like Jesus Christ. There is nothing I desire more and, in my opinion, nothing more to be desired.
I have really enjoyed my first course at CLU Communion with God. What a life changing course. I found myself totally immersed in this course. At times, it would be hours seeking and praising the Lord to answer a question. Other times it was pulling the car over and hearing what the Lord is saying to me. I have spent more time with writing, journaling, listening, memorizing, watching videos, and doing my daily devotionals, than I did with almost any coursework I had in my doctorate program at North… University. But this feels different because unlike those other courses, they did not change my life, increase my faith, and bring me to have a daily relationship and discussion with Jesus. WOW, this is a tremendous Spirit filled experience that impacts me even when I am not doing work for the course. Thank you!
Before enrolling, I had heard only good things from my colleagues about this school and these courses. I was excited and hopeful for what I would experience myself. I have been blown away in the powerful experiences I have encountered with every course. Far beyond my expectations.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my studies and experiences through CLU. I tell everyone I can about these courses and programs, especially my colleagues or those looking to grow in ministry. What I love most is how every course is spirit-led and all knowledge taught is woven into experiences with the Holy Spirit. This is not just head knowledge learning; it engages our heart, mind and soul collectively. When considering going to school, God specifically told me, “if I wanted to know more about who He is, I would find Him here.” As I have sought Him, He has surely shown up and revealed wonderful and hidden truths to me.
The instructors are amazing, filled with spiritual wisdom and very helpful. I love that the courses are self-paced as well which fits my lifestyle working full-time and caring for my family. These courses have changed my relationship with God and significantly impacted my ministry. I am very thankful!
I love the lamad style education (revelation-based learning). I’ve earned my Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree through CLU, and I am currently working toward my Doctorate. The course work really plunges the learner deeper into The Spirit of God.
When I began my journey ten years ago, I was excited, but very nervous at the idea of online education. I was only 18 at the time, and I was not sure I would have the discipline to get the work done on time.
As time passed, the excitement stayed but the nerves fell to the wayside. Now, the excitement comes with every course order because I know that my learning time is time spent with my King!
I have enjoyed the teaching / learning methods, getting to work with and know the various instructors and most of all, I’ve really, really loved the impact this education has had on my walk with Christ.
Every chance I get to recommend CLU to others, I certainly do. Even if they aren’t looking for college credit – CLU has something to offer for about every need in life.
I could add so much more, but will leave it at this- This is no ordinary Bible College or Seminary. There is no denominational presence, but the emphasis on The Holy Spirit is fabulous. I have been blessed over the years to have personal conversations with Mark and Patti and with Karen in the office. Having many friends and colleagues who have come out of traditional Bible Colleges or Seminaries, it’s plain to see there is a stark difference in what we know and what we’re capable of sharing. It’s not that CLU grads are “better”, it just seems we turn out a little different from those in the traditional training setting. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
The class is life-changing… My wife and I are going through the DVDs together and she is noticing some changes in me after only 1 month. Thanks for allowing the Lord to teach you these hard lessons so that you could teach others. It is a much needed message to the body of Christ. I am looking forward to teaching this class to my church this fall.
I am working with such an amazing instructor.
The presence of the Holy Spirit consumed me during my call with him on Friday. There is an anointing on everything that he says.
Moreover, my instructor prayed for me so powerfully that, while he was praying and making prophetic declarations over me, my whole life flashed before my eyes. The Lord revealed where I need inner healing. This came as part of the “Prayers that Heal the Heart” course.
It’s life-changing.
My instructor is a heavenly treasure. This guy is going to impact millions of people, either directly or through his students.
The Doctorate at CLU was the most important education I have ever had and will ever get. I received my B.A in education and my M.A. in counseling from The University of Phoenix. My Doctorate with CLU is the most precious part of my educational journey. Glory be to God! My Doctorate from Walden University will allow me to be a certified instructor in the State of Arizona but nothing can ever take the place of my Doctorate from CLU. I will buy your books for my clients.
The biggest benefits I have enjoyed are God’s Word, and learning to hear God’s voice more clearly, knowing it is His voice and not mine.
I especially appreciate the fast responses and the kind and respectful thoughtfulness that each person gives when speaking to you on the phone or online. Everyone has shown Christian Leadership!
I have already recommended CLU to two people and I will continue to tell others about this university.
I was encouraged to go to Regent (it’s a local school). There is an assumption that Regent is the way to go. But I kept having reservations I could not articulate. I prayed to be led to where I would flourish.
The day I saw CLU’s information, my heart leaped! I have no shadow of doubt in my decision. I just signed up! Working with people who love me makes a huge difference in confidence. Learning in an environment of love makes all the difference.
The three biggest benefits I’ve enjoyed are peace, a decrease in fear, and confidence that I am obeying the Lord.
Would I recommend CLU to others? YES!
