The Course
Summit Hill Bible Institute Training course is designed to take a person from being a convert to becoming an effective Christian worker, leader or Pastor. It is in the bible School situation that a disciplined environment is created whereby the student will be able to both receive information of the word of God and to be trained to be doers of the word
The course will assist students to be doers of the word so that they become true disciples of Jesus Christ. Students will develop until they are effective workers. They will then move on to being excellent spiritual leaders and even pastors or ministers of the gospel.
There are people who desire to go to school to prepare for ministry but cannot afford to pack up their bags and move to another town. Some people are already in full time ministry, employed, at the college or at school and cannot stop what they are doing and yet they want to be trained. Others have a call to full time service but for various reasons can’t afford to go to the Bible School. This program is for them too and principles learnt will help them to develop into whatever ministry God has called them in: whether it being a Pastor, Evangelist, Teacher, Prophet or an Apostle, or as elders, Overseers, deacons, helps ministry, Administrator or worker of miracles, gifted in healing, etc will be enriched spiritually, mentally, emotionally and socially. They will become edifiers in the body of Christ and as solid pillars in the church.

The Statement of faith
SHBI school of ministry believe in the following:
-
We believe in One God, essentially wise, holy, just, and good; eternal, infinite, and immutable in all natural and moral perfections; the Creator, Supporter, and Governor of all beings and of all things.
-
We believe that God is revealed in the Scriptures, as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and that to each are attributable the same divine properties and perfections. The doctrine of the divine existence, as above stated, they cordially believe, without attempting fully to explain.
-
We believe that man was created after the divine image, sinless, and, in his kind, perfect.
-
We believe that the first man disobeyed the divine command, fell from his state of innocence and purity, and involved all his posterity in the consequences of that fall.
-
We believe that, therefore, all mankind are born in sin, and that a fatal inclination to moral evil, utterly incurable by human means, is inherent in every descendant of Adam.
-
We believe that God, having, before the foundation of the world, designed to redeem fallen man, made disclosures of his mercy, which were the grounds of faith and hope from the earliest ages.
-
We believe that God revealed more fully to Abraham the covenant of his grace, and, having promised that from his descendants should arise the Deliverer and Redeemer of mankind, set that patriarch and his posterity apart, as a race specially favored and separated to his service: a peculiar Church, formed and carefully preserved, under the divine sanction and government, until the birth of the promised Messiah.
-
We believe that, in the fullness of the time, the Son of God was manifested in the flesh, being born of the virgin Mary, but conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit; and that our Lord Jesus Christ was both the Son of Man and the Son of God; partaking fully and truly of human nature, though without sin—equal with the Father and 'the express image of his person.'
-
We believe that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, revealed, either personally in his own ministry, or by the Holy Spirit in the ministry of his apostles, the whole mind of God for our salvation; and that, by his obedience to the divine law while he lived, and by his sufferings unto death, he meritoriously 'obtained eternal redemption for us;' having thereby vindicated and illustrated
-
divine justice, 'magnified the law,' and 'brought in everlasting righteousness.'
-
We believe that, after his death and resurrection, he ascended up into heaven, where, as the Mediator, he 'ever liveth' to rule over all, and to 'make intercession for them that come unto God by him.' over all, and to 'make intercession for them that come unto God by him.'
-
We believe that the Holy Spirit is given, in consequence of Christ's mediation, to quicken and renew the hearts of men; and that his influence is indispensably necessary to bring a sinner to true repentance, to produce saving faith, to regenerate the heart, and to perfect our sanctification.
-
We believe that we are justified through faith in Christ, as 'the Lord our righteousness,' and not 'by the works of the law.'
-
We believe that all who will be saved were the objects of God's eternal and electing love, and were given by an act of divine sovereignty to the Son of God; which in no way interferes with the system of means, nor with the grounds of human responsibility; being wholly unrevealed as to its objects, and not a rule of human duty.
-
We believe that the Scriptures teach the final perseverance of all true believers to a state of eternal blessedness, which they are appointed to obtain through constant faith in Christ and uniform obedience to his commands.
-
We believe that a holy life will be the necessary effect of a true faith, and that good works are the certain fruits of a vital union to Christ.
-
We believe that the sanctification of true Christians, or their growth in the graces of the Spirit, and meekness for heaven, is gradually carried on through the whole period during which it pleases God to continue them in the present life, and that, at death, their souls, perfectly freed from all remains of evil, are immediately received into the presence of Christ.
-
We believe in the perpetual obligation of Baptism and the Lord's Supper; the former to be administered to all converts to Christianity and their children, by the application of water to the subject, 'in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;' and the latter to be celebrated by Christian churches as a token of faith in the Savior, and of brotherly love.
-
We believe that Christ will finally come to judge the whole human race according to their works; that the bodies of the dead will be raised again; and that as the Supreme Judge, he will divide the righteous from the wicked, will receive the righteous into 'life everlasting,' but send away the wicked into 'everlasting punishment.'
-
We believe that Jesus Christ directed his followers to live together in Christian fellowship, and to maintain the communion of saints; and that, for this purpose, they are jointly to observe all divine ordinances, and maintain that church order and discipline which is either expressly enjoined by inspired institution, or sanctioned by the undoubted example of the apostles and of apostolic churches
