LCCC ministers and certified teachers are trained to actively respond to those seeking guidance toward transformation, thus spirituality. Having developed an understanding of levels of consciousness, our ministers and teachers assist individuals in active growth.

Our graduates are well-prepared interfaith ministers and teachers who know the time has come for the building of right relationship between the peoples of the world. Ecumenical in their approach to ministry and to service, each graduate has studied a minimum of five world religions and researched one, as well as having completed a research project in one of the esoteric approaches.

LCCC certified teachers and ordained ministers meet the legal requirements to begin study groups or churches wherein they teach esoteric truths and serve a congregation ready for this approach. The contemporary style in which ministers are prepared for the pulpit helps them to be good bridge builders.

Our ministers and teachers articulate esoteric teachings and link them to personal growth. They have the tools for the development of the/Christ Within, the Hope of Glory, from a transpersonal as well as spiritual approach.

Our graduates prepare to assist others to advance on the path of initiation for their sake and for the sake of humanity, knowing the time is nigh for humanity's next step. Believing we live in a new era excites prepared ones to seek places to serve and to bring their understanding into daily service. This could be in a religious/spiritual setting or it may be a place of business, work, or play.

Some ministers and teachers choose to work with individuals in a more personal manner, to enrich lives through counseling or spiritual healing. Light of Christ ministers have found chaplaincy to be rewarding. Many also work with hospice and other methods of assisting individuals and families through transition.

We honor the response to the call demonstrated by each seminarian and seek to guide each into the right place of service. We respectfully certify and ordain both male and female and respect gender preferences.
