This collaboration expands educational access for individuals seeking to deepen their biblical knowledge and grow in ministry without having to relocate or interrupt their daily lives.
Through this partnership, students in the Paducah area can now enroll in Summit Christian University’s Bible Certificate courses and attend classes conveniently hosted at Heartland Church. The program is designed for those desiring a solid foundation in God’s Word—whether serving as ministry volunteers, Sunday school teachers, small group leaders, or simply seeking personal spiritual growth.
“We are thrilled to partner with Heartland Church to make biblical education more accessible to our region,” said Dr. Keith Roach, President of Summit Christian University. “This collaboration allows us to walk alongside believers who are eager to grow in faith and ministry while remaining rooted in their local church community.”
Summit Christian University’s Bible Certificate offers a flexible learning format, meeting one night a week for five weeks total per course (three weeks in-person class, one week off to work on assignments, followed by two weeks in-person class), allowing students to balance work, family, and ministry commitments. Each course is taught from a Christ-centered perspective, emphasizing both academic excellence and practical ministry application.
