Core Values

Summit Christian College is a private institution of higher education, committed to the Christian mission of winning the world to Christ. With the conviction that every member of the body of Christ is a minister, the college seeks to foster in students a world-wide vision of the mission of the church, provide opportunities to produce spiritual growth toward Christian maturity and promote the Restoration Movement ideal of becoming Christ’s church as revealed in the New Testament. Students come from across the United States and around the globe desiring to make a difference for Christ in whatever career they choose, whether in vocational ministry or as volunteer leaders and workers in the church with other vocational preparation. Thus, our institutional core values are:

  1. Jesus Christ is God’s Son and our Lord and Savior.
  2. The Bible is the inspired word of God and normative for faith and practice.
  3. All believers, regardless of chosen profession, are included in God’s plan to disciple the nations.
  4. We place a high value on personal relationships built on both truth and grace.
  5. We practice a collaborative management style in decision-making.
  6. We encourage personal and professional growth for our faculty and staff.
  7. We seek to provide a quality education that includes critical thinking, learning by experience and is relevant in meeting the needs of our constituency.
  8. We encourage our students, faculty and staff to practice an “internal locus of control.”
  9. We partner with churches in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
