Accreditation

We are now accredited with International University Accreditation Association (click here).

We are 501(3)(c) tax exempt not for profit organization as required by the IRS. We are registered and recognized by the State of California to issue degrees in theological education. In accordance with the biblical guidelines of accountability, we are currently under the leadership of the New Beginnings Christian Fellowship and we are accountable to the pastoral team of the church.

Since we are an internet-based, correspondence Bible College, 51% or more of the education of our student is accomplished in the homes of the individuals.  Although we do have extension campuses across the United States (from Maine to California), our students qualify as “distance learners”. 

We have had our degrees approved by several denominations and churches.  Check on your ministry needs for accreditation. We are standing on the following scripture, as God's approval for what we do:

So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.    Isaiah 55:11

Why do we feel we are approved of God?:
1. Our curriculum is based on the biblical teachings of the authors listed above, who are godly men and women.  We use approved, conservative texts, which may be found in any Evangelistic, God-fearing Christian bookstore.

2. Each student must research the Bible for each course and is accountable to defend the truth of their answers as they line up with the Word of God.  We stand by the authority of the Word of God, and we expect our students to be able to stand on that integrity, also.

3. We pray for each and every student, faculty member and SBC worker, daily.

4. We are non-profit corporation and we have a board of directors that insures perpetuity.

5. The most important thing is that we are relying on the confirmation of the Holy Spirit through the fruit of the work in the Word of God as our accreditation. We believe that God will honor His Word as we give the Word to others.

Summit Bible College Objectives are as follows: 
1. To promote the opportunity for students to gain knowledge in the Word of God.

2. To help the students effectively apply the Word of God in their lives, in their ministry and to the community at large by teaching them practical means of doing so.

3. To provide experiences that give students a substantial degree of expertise in preparing for their chosen area of ministry.

4. To maintain a close liaison with the churches and other ministries to determine a need for the development of new instructional programs.

5.  To provide a practical method of acquiring a comprehensive degree in a field of ministry.

6.  To help our students obtain licenses and ordination to minister for Christ and become registered with support organizations.
