Regent University in Virginia Beach was founded by Pat Robertson with an explicitly Charismatic Christian mission. Strong law and government programs. Genuine Christian identity. 82/100 Spiritually Sa
Regent University was founded in 1977 by Pat Robertson with the explicit mission of training Christian leaders to influence law, government, media, and business "in the Kingdom of God." The university is particularly known for its School of Law (ABA-accredited, consistently ranked among the most conservative law schools in America) and School of Government, which reflect Robertson's vision of Christians engaging public life.
The theological framework is Charismatic/Pentecostal — Robertson is associated with the Charismatic movement and prosperity gospel-adjacent theology. The university has moved toward more mainstream evangelical theology in recent years. Faculty are required to affirm Christian faith and the curriculum integrates Christian worldview throughout.
Regent Law School is an excellent option for Christian students who want legal training in a conservative Christian environment preparing them for public law, constitutional law, or government service from a Christian worldview perspective. The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) — a Christian legal advocacy organization — was founded by Robertson and has connections to Regent.
