History

Early in the college's history, a program of medical missions was the college's major contribution to the efforts of Christian Church-related Bible colleges in the area of world evangelism. The lack of demand and difficulty to provide for such programs eventually led to the discontinuance of the medical mission program at the college.

In 2005, Platte Valley Bible College changed its name to Summit Christian College. Three years later, Summit Christian College moved into a newly remodeled campus in the neighboring city of Gering.
