Beulah Heights University is one of the nation’s oldest and fastest growing Bible institutions. Since 1918, it’s provided higher education rooted in the Protestant Christian tradition.

“Honors like this are rare, and when they do happen they are presented to individuals who are much older than I am. It is very humbling for my life’s work to be acknowledged in this way. I am deeply grateful to the Beulah Heights Family,” Charles Jenkins says. “I am also excited to help leaders and organizations transition and pass the baton effectively to ensure the enduring strength of our institutions.”
