Accreditation Notice:
Learning With Purpose: TJS EQUIP University is Zion Church’s learning community for whole-person formation. Our courses are thoughtfully designed, biblically grounded, and facilitated with academic care and practical rigor. We pursue more than information alone, equipping people to apply biblical truth, develop real-life competence, and become catalysts of change in their lives, communities, and beyond. TJS EQUIP University is not accredited by an accrediting agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and does not award academic degrees or college credit. Our purpose is distinct from that of a seminary or degree-granting university: we provide transformational learning that turns conviction into faithful action.
