Are you feeling called for more?
You've spent years raising children, serving your family, caring for others, supporting your church and building a career.
And now you're wondering:
"Lord, what comes next?"
You aren't looking to go get another degree, but you want to know how God designed the body and how that knowledge might be used to serve others.
That's exactly why we created The School of Christian Health and Nutrition.

Why this work matters:
A more foundational
approach to
the body
God designed.
Many people today are searching for a more foundational and whole-body approach to health.
They are tired of confusion, conflicting advice, and constantly outsourcing their understanding of the body to systems they no longer fully trust.
We believe Christians have an opportunity to approach health differently, through stewardship, wisdom, discernment, and a deeper understanding of the body God designed.
Some students use this education within businesses or ministries. Others apply it within their homes and families. But all of them leave with greater clarity and confidence in how they understand health to help others.
I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Psalm 139:14

Exactly What I Prayed For
"I have been a health coach since 2016 and prayed for something like this to come along. I would take this course even if I was not in the health and wellness business. I have been surprised at all the resources! So many more than expected to help me run my practice.
The Christian Health Practitioner program has been a gamechanger in my own life and health. I have loved getting to learn from and alongside women who love Jesus.
Come with an open heart and mind. You're going to learn how to advocate for your own health and be able to teach others to do the same."

TOP QUESTIONS
Clear answers to help you understand tuition, flexibility, and accreditation at SCHN.
How long is this program?
This is a ten-month program, and it must be completed within the scheduled time. Our October Cohort begins October 5th, 2026.
Will I be able to order labs with this certification?
Yes, you can order labs with your CHP certification which will allow you to care for your clients or family and friends in the best possible way with the real data. Inside we not only teach you how to order the labs we also teach you how to interpret them.
*Each state has its own rules and regulations regarding certification type and ordering labs. Check with your particular state or contact the SCHN team for more information.
What happens after I graduate from this program?
You will earn a certificate in Christian Health and Nutrition to work as a Christian Health Practitioner.
You may use this in numerous ways, which include (but are not limited to):
- Establishing your own private consulting practice (dependent on your state’s laws).
- Working within your church organization to optimize the health of your community.
- Working in a clinical setting with other like-minded professionals.
Is this certification accepted by my state?
States vary in their requirements for those providing health and nutritional counseling and advice. Some require licensure or working under supervision of a licensed practitioner. You can find your state’s requirements under its Department of Health. This is also a helpful resource: https://nanp.org/legislative-affairs/
Are there any prerequisites for this program?
First and foremost, you must believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Beyond that, the only prerequisites are a high school diploma and access to high-speed internet in order to take the course. There are no other educational requirements.
How much time should I expect to dedicate to the program each week?
Students should allow for a minimum of 7-10 hours a week to complete the reading, videos, calls, study and take quizzes.
Is this an accredited program?
The SCHN is a private online institution that trains practitioners to address nutrition and health in alignment with God’s Word/Biblical Principles. Our program offers certification and not licensure, as it is not accredited by the Department of Education or a Clinical Board. It will not qualify you to work in a hospital or other government-regulated setting. Most licensure programs focus on disease management and are beholden to government guidelines. Because of this, these programs are limited in their ability to provide holistic education about optimal health.
Still have questions?
If You Feel Called To This Work, This is Your Next Step
The School of Christian Health and Nutrition was created for Christians who want to better understand the body, steward health with wisdom, and support others through faith-centered education.
