"What Summit means is an opportunity for the person to break
out of the job mentality, and into the ministry; to become trained and
prepared to lead and serve." Dr. Victor |

Thank You!

Dear Dr. Victor and Summit Bible College
Personnel,
You may think it is quite amazing coming
from a woman who could never abide by the rules of her term papers, and
lived in fear of failing because they were always too ‘wordy’ and exceeded
the required number of pages, but I can only say two sentences for my
testimony: “Thank you Jesus!” and “Look what the Lord has done!”
Those were my exact words when I
received my diploma, in the mail. When my eyes beheld the package with the
‘Summit’ return address, I was like a kid opening her first Christmas
present. I was home by myself, just me and God, and tears fell from my eyes
when I saw the plaque! My first utterance was “Thank you Jesus!”
To put my experience of being a student
at Summit Bible College in a more thoughtful sequence, I would say: “He has
taken the ashes from my life and glued them into a diploma.” My mind is
renewed in Christ. I have joy in my heart! The woman who carried many
burdens and lived through many abuses is “no more”. Jesus has taught me His
way, His burden is light and it is the sweetness of the Lord that I taste
everyday….led by the precious hands of those Shepherds and teachers He has
given to lead me. I’m 41 and just beginning, and I thank all of the Staff
at Summit Bible College for their prayers, encouragement, and powerful
curriculum.

Christian Counseling

In 1997, God
called me to a three-fold ministry with an emphasis on Christian Counseling.
I discovered Summit Bible College on-line and began my classes. SBC has
helped me in two ways.
First, the courses offered by Summit are available to those who have a
full-time job with a tuition that is feasible to pay. The classes are very
in depth and I have learned very important materials that help me not only
on the counseling side but in every aspect of life. The courses are not easy
and demand a lot of studying and paperwork.
Second, the courses provided by Summit Bible College have helped my
relationship with Christ grow closer and more intimate. They
emphasize prayer and Bible reading. They emphasize discipline in
your Christian walk, and teach you how to reach out to a lost and
dying world.
I would highly recommend Summit Bible College to anyone that needs not only
a good education but an “on-growing” relationship with their Lord.

I enrolled with SBC, as an under Graduate student studying for my Bachelor
in Theology with a Major in Worship in January 2001. There are a lot
of great things about SBC! The subjects that they offer are "age
appropriate" and suits the world today!My major in
music made me realize my dream in getting to know the art of praise and
worship. Since I am attempting to get this degree as a correspondent
student, I save time on traveling. The staff at SBC are always there to
support me with their prayers, and answer my queries, which can be
curriculum based or not!
Since I was credited with over sixty units prior to
starting my degree, I should finish with a Bachelor's in Theology in
approximately one year.
SBC has become part of my extended family today. May
God bless SBC!

The vision of Summit Bible College and its founder, Dr. Jeff
Victor, is a vision that should be shared by every church and pastor in the
world today.
I first heard of Summit by searching on
the internet. I was looking for a Christian education program that would
work in the church where I had been pastoring. We had a real need to train
our people to fill leadership roles and to serve in the various ministries
of the church. We had people who were sincere and zealous to serve, but were
often young in the Lord or lacked a firm foundation in the Word. We also had
people who were hungry for more study of the Word....more than they could
get by only coming to the regular services. Sending them to Bible college
was not an option for us. Most had families and jobs and could not be
uprooted.
Some people are called to attend an
anointed in-residence Bible college, but many are called to stay in their
local church and receive training.
The correspondence programs I had seen used in the past were expensive and
....frankly "dry". The people ended up with "credits" but little life.
Summit was a real answer to prayer. The Summit curriculum is not bound by
one particular denomination, so they are
free to select current books by the most anointed and gifted ministries
available today. I saw the changes the program made in the lives of the
people. My eldest daughter earned her Associate degree from Summit in one
year. It was a lot of work, but she was
excited by the classes and experienced wonderful spiritual growth. She
was able to do the program even with a new baby at home and duties of being
a wife and mother. She was recently asked to preach in her home church. I
have heard comments from many about how
gifted and anointed she is. She accumulated and still uses the 20 text books
from the classes in her personal library. I was even able to upgrade my
existing degree through Summit.
Everybody in the church who took the classes grew and was blessed. They are
serving in ministry, active in church leadership or ministering to people in
the workplace. "By the fruits you shall know them." I know the Summit
program blesses and changes lives. Part of Summit's vision is to keep the
program affordable. It is likely the least expensive program available
today.
P.S. Pastors.... I encourage you to enquire about starting an extension
campus of Summit Bible College in your area. There is a shortage of trained
and anointed people to serve in church leadership and other ministries in
the Body of Christ. There are probably several gifted ministers in your area
that will donate an hour or two a week to lead one of these classes.
