Summit Pacific College offers three diploma programs:
The diploma programs in Pastoral Theology, General Bible and Church Ministry consist of 90 semester hours of required and elective courses. The Pastoral Theology major is for those students called to full-time ministry and who desire the minimum formal Bible College education required by the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada for ministerial ordination. The General Bible major is designed for those who want sound training in developing their skills for Christian service, but who have no call to full-time ministry. The Church Ministry major is designed for those whose primary ministry in the church is education and teaching.
General Bible Diploma
Those who graduate from this major will have a sound preparation in Bible and Theology (45 semester hours) as well as a foundation of Practics (18 semester hours), General Studies (21 semester hours), and 6 semester hours of open electives. This major is designed for those wanting to maximize Biblical studies, but do not have a call to full-time ministry. To qualify for credentialing after graduation with this major, the student must use the open electives to take the required courses in Practics.
