All of Summit's programs will equip you to serve in what we often refer to as the "people-helping" professions. We have graduates that serve in local churches as pastors, worship directors, counselors and teachers. We also have grads that serve in the not-for-profit sector, both here in Canada and globally. Others have combined their Summit degree with another course of study and are serving as registered clinical counselors, education assistants, and first-responders in many communities in our province.
Whether you are interested in music, counseling, pastoral leadership, not-for-profit leadership, cross cultural studies or our one year Omega Global program, you will discover that we have designed a program that will equip you for your chosen calling. Summit's graduate studies faculty will help equip those with an undergraduate degree to continue life-long learning in the field of Biblical studies, and enable some to fulfill the requirements of credentialing with the PAOC at a graduate level. As well, our unique relationship with Trinity Western University provides an opportunity for students to study at Summit for one or two years, and then transition to one of Trinity's degree programs. At Summit, we seek to combine a quality academic experience with seasons of spiritual discipleship, personal mentoring and professional development. All of these dynamics occur within a vibrant and supportive Christian community. You will make friendships here that will last a lifetime, and discover a faculty and staff that take a personal interest in each student on campus.
Summit Pacific College exists to educate, equip and enrich Christians for Spirit-empowered ministry in the Church and in the world.
