Light University Online is endorsed by the nearly 50,000 member American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), the largest Christian Counseling Association in the world. The AACC’s mission is to assist and equip Christian counselors and the entire ‘community of care,’ licensed professionals, pastors, and caring church members with little or no formal trainings to increase their daily counseling and ministry effectiveness. The American Psychological Association and National Board for Certified counselors recognize AACC, in partnership with Light University Online, as an approved provider of continuing education credit. As a Light University Online student, you receive a free, one-year, associate membership to the AACC.

Light University Online is also endorsed by the International Board For Christian Care (IBCC) and its network of credentialing boards. Light University Online programs of study meet the educational requirements of the various credentialing boards. Credentialing through one of the IBCC boards lets others know that you are committed to excellence, biblically and ethically, and have achieved a high standard of competent Christian care giving.
