Summit Bible College wants to ask the question

Summit Bible College wants to ask a question,

Did you know:

·         At any given time, 75% of pastors in America want to quit?

·         1,500 pastors leave their assignments each month due to moral failure, spiritual burnout or contention within their local congregations?

·         70% of pastors do not have a close friend with whom they can openly share their struggles?

*Statistics from Focus on the Family, Fuller Institute of Church Growth and Church Resource Ministries

How is your pastor doing?  Do you know?  Do you care? Is your pastor one of the 70% that doesn’t have anyone that he can share his burdens with? 

Summit’s mission is, “Equipping Christian Leaders to Help Those in Need,” and that includes your pastor.  God has incredible gifts in store for those who answer the call to ministry.  Summit Bible College wants to make sure that your pastor will be ministering for a lifetime. 

The reality is that pastor’s must deal with real life.  Within a pastor’s congregation there are marriages on the brink of divorce, untimely deaths, spousal and child abuse, all that require crisis counseling.  Our culture is in the middle of a war on families and the core of healing is the local pastor who is ill equipped to handle these tragic circumstances. 

Summit Bible College offers counseling courses including: Biblical Marriage and Family Counseling, Suicidology, Crisis Counseling and Christian Counseling Ethics.  Other classes include: Pastoral Leadership, Principles of Missions, Healing and Wholeness, the Call of God, Personal Revival and Gifts of the Holy Spirit just to name a few.  Pastors become equipped with Christ centered teaching that enables them to assist in any situation. 

Summit Bible College also offers a support system for pastors who are linked together.  The bonds formed during seminars and class times last for a lifetime.  Professor’s encouraging the student pastors and pastors supporting one another’s ministry.

Not all pastors can afford to go to Talbot, Denver or Dallas Seminary but that does not mean that they can continue to function in this tough environment without help.  “Equipping Christian Leaders to Help Those in Need,” is the vision and goal of Summit Bible College.  An ABS degree is less than $3,000.  Bachelor, Master’s and Doctorate programs are also available, all at incredible rates!

The next Pastor/Minister class will be held October 29th at 3:30 P.M at our office. Call 661-328-1151 for more information!
