The University of Lynchburg is affiliated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a denomination with a tradition of engaging faith and reason in education. The University was founded in 1903 as Virginia Christian College by Dr. Josephus and Sarah Hopwood and a group of Disciples of Christ ministers and businessmen. The University receives annual funding from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the Disciples Mission Fund, endowments housed at the Christian Church Foundation, and the Thanksgiving Special Offering. In partnership with Higher Education and Leadership Ministries (HELM), the University of Lynchburg stays connected to the 14 other colleges and universities associated with the denomination. Lynchburg has always nurtured the concept of vocation, both for the countless pastors educated here and for the laypeople who understand faith and a commitment to justice as part of their life’s work.

Founded in 1952, the Virginia Foundation for Independent Colleges (VFIC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that supports 16 of Virginia’s independent institutions of higher education, including the University of Lynchburg. VFIC contributions that are undesignated from business and community leaders are distributed to member colleges and universities according to a standard formula: 40% on the basis of undergraduate enrollment and 60% divided equally among the colleges and universities. In addition, Lynchburg receives designated funds that are vital in supporting academic programs, faculty development, library enhancements, facility improvements, multicultural activities, career services, student scholarships, and high-impact opportunities.

For the 2023-24 academic year, Lynchburg received a total of $128,459 in funding from the VFIC. This amount included $53,418 in unrestricted funds, $32,897 in general scholarships, $20,845 for seven designated student scholarships, and $21,299 to support library, research, programming, ethics, and leadership development initiatives.
