Our story

Chosen Life began in 2013. It was founded as Life Development and Leadership Institute, a training center for laymen and Sunday school teachers of Chosen People Assembly. The Institute was organized by Professor Olumuyiwa Samuel, Pastor of Chosen People Assembly. This move was stimulated by a group of evangelical pastors who are concerned about advancing a dispensation theology approach to the Bible, the distinctive character of the revelation given to the Apostle Paul, and the preparation of full-time Christian workers to fulfill this goal.

In 2020, the institution sought for government approval and was registered with Federal Republic of Nigeria through Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as Chosen Life Seminary with Reg. No. 3247082.   

In 2021, Chosen Life began an online education program offering working adults an opportunity to study one night a week or exclusively online and earn Diploma, Associate or Bachelor Degree. The Beyond the 4-Wall Campaign has turned to be a blessing to the Seminary because it now has ability to enroll more students and service more working ministers without any stress.

In July, 2021, Chosen Life sought for accreditation approval with Global Accrediting Network – an accreditation for Christian higher learning institutes.  This has added more values to the seminary and has contributed greatly to the acceptability by the Christian community.

In August, 2021, the Board of Regents of the Seminary unanimously voted to change the name of the Institution to Chosen Life Christian University. This change officially took place on August 29, 2021. Chosen Life Christian University reflects the expansion and excellence of the institution’s programs of study while also showing the commitment to our valuable past. The study of the Bible remains a core value, and a significant portion of all degree programs. Vocational ministry also continues to be an institutional priority as well. 

In all, the introduction of Digital Skills which is a compulsory course for all our students has stood us out from the rest Christian higher learning institutions.  Our graduands are proud of being digitally-skilled with certification which is in line with global educational system. The University is now fully in partnership with PlusAfri Global Network through Digital Initiative for Global Schools (DIGAS).

Praise God there are tens/hundreds of Chosen Life Alumni serving the Lord with great impact in various vocational settings around the world today!
