From Dr. Michael and Dr. Adelle McKinney, President and Founders
Welcome to Promise Christian University. Since 2002, we have had the privilege of helping pastors and Christian leaders earn their degrees in Religious Studies, Ministry and Theology. We just concluded the graduation ceremony of the Class of 2025. What an amazing time we had. To see these men and women educated, encouraged, equipped, empowered and excited to start the next phase of their lives is worth every sacrifice we and our staff have made.
Someone told us recently, “PCU has changed my life.” This is so rewarding to hear. Our vision is to educate academically, but also give our students the understanding of the supernatural power of God. To that end we have a staff of professors active and retired who on the average have more than 25 years of ministry experience. We teach not only from the head but from the heart as well.
Today’s educational system sometimes lacks relationship. At PCU our classes are smaller and that gives our students and professors more interaction and the ability to bridge gaps and build a lasting relationship that make learning a real experience at Promise Christian University.
God has placed a purpose inside of you. At Promise Christian University, we are committed to equipping pastors and Christian leaders with the knowledge, spiritual depth, and practical tools needed to fulfill that calling.
Whether you are beginning your ministry journey or advancing your theological education, PCU is ready to walk alongside you with faith, excellence, and relationship-centered learning.
Do not despise the day of small things. We started in a church, World for Jesus International Christian Center with qualified pastor instructors from the Pastors Network of Southern California. We believe in quality not quantity. With over 100 pastors members of the Pastors Network, students came from USA and from Malaysia, Norway, Philippines, Korea, India, Norway, Denmark, Cameroon, Nigeria, Tanzania, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Australia, Sierra Leone, Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya to earn their degree in Ministry. "The harvest is great but the laborers are few." Matthew 9:37. The mark of a Promise Christian University graduate is that they have a passion to serve God and have the knowledge and skills to navigate through ministry to reach their destiny in Christ.
