The Goal
College Accreditation
Currently, the courses offered in the Kingdom Hope Community have no official accreditation. Our hope is that Kingdom Hope Community will grow and one day offer these courses with accreditation as Kingdom Hope College. Of course, even with Kingdom Hope College launched, Kingdom Hope Community will run in parallel for those who do not need accreditation. Also, if you purchase a course now, and would like to get the accreditation when it is available, the money you have already paid will be taken into consideration.
Until that point, please pray for us as we continue to develop more course content and work with accrediting associations to give more options to our students.
