Florida USA Religious exemption

Elohim Theological University is duly and legally incorporated as an institution that provides Christian education in the state of Florida USA with the incorporation number 392617 Corporation Non-Profit. At this time Elohim Theological University is in the legal process of renewing its religious exemption which conforms to the Florina Department of Education allowing us to issue our religious degrees.

Religious institutions that meet the requirements found in Section 1005.06(1)(f), Florida Statutes and Rule 6E-5.001, Florida Administrative Code are not under the jurisdiction or purview of the Commission for Independent Education and are not required to obtain licensure.

Section 1005.06(1)(f), F.S. reads: A religious college may operate without governmental oversight if the college annually verifies by sworn affidavit to the commission that: The name of the institution includes a religious modifier or the name of a religious patriarch, saint, person, or symbol of the church.

The institution offers only educational programs that prepare students for religious vocations as ministers, professionals, or laypersons in the categories of ministry, counseling, theology, education, administration, music, fine arts, media communications, or social work. The titles of degrees issued by the institution cannot be confused with secular degree titles.
